Spinal Muscular Atrophy – or SMA – is a rare, genetic neuromuscular condition that has a devastating impact on patients and families affected. Without early intervention, symptoms progress quickly and sadly, many babies will die or need permanent ventilation. #NovartisOK

The impact of a diagnosis of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) on both patients and their families is enormous – physically, emotionally and financially. That's why, at Novartis, we believe in the importance and urgency of introducing newborn SMA screening in the UK. #NovartisOK

Tackling health inequalities cannot be done alone; we must work together. This was the consensus from the expert panel – including our own Nicole Kane - at #KFAnnual Conference, where they discussed how collaboration is vital to tackle inequalities in breast cancer care.
