Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a rare, progressive disease caused by a genetic mutation, which can affect children as young as 2. It leads to muscle weakness, loss of motor skills, and eventually impacts the heart and lungs. On this first #WorldDuchenneAwarenessDay, we unite to amplify the voices of those living with DMD, advocating for their rights, inclusion, and well-being. Together, we can build a more inclusive world where all are empowered to thrive. un.org/en/observances/duchen…

Today is #WorldDuchenneAwarenessDay. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a severe genetic disorder characterised by muscle weakening and degeneration. It affects 1 in 3,500 live male births globally and 1 in 100,000 in sub-Saharan Africa. Every child affected by DMD deserves accessible and affordable healthcare. Let's speak up for equal care and inclusion.
