On this day of #shadesofpku campaign leading to #IPKUDAY2025 we shine a light on unequal access to pharmaceutical treatments options. This is frustrating for patients.
Today during #shadesofpku organised on the occasion of #IPKUDAY2025 we highlight the need for new doctors to choose #PKU as their career path. It offers research possibilities, opportunity to shape standards of care and being a leader in a care for patients with a rare disease.
#IPKUDAY2025 #shadesofpku highlights crucial PKU healthcare transition. EU Guidelines Rec. 25 demands specialized adult care. This #pkuunmetmedicalneed means planned, patient-collaborative transitions are key to avoid lost follow-up. We urge adherence for patient quality of life.
