I’ve seen nearly a dozen patients with NMOSD in Zambia, many of whom experienced 2+ debilitating attacks before diagnosis. The good news is there is hope! Thank you to @Neurology Without Borders & @DeannaSaylor1 for helping highlight the path ahead neurology.org/media/blog-pos…
Black African people born and evaluated in Zambia experienced prolonged #MultipleSclerosis diagnostic delays when compared to non-black Zambians born and/or evaluated outside Zambia. Study from @DeannaSaylor1 @UnzaOfficial @UniversityofNo7 ▶️journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
Excited to share this important work on delays to diagnosis of MS in Zambia that underscores the need for improved awareness, especially amongst HCWs @MSJ_Research @DeannaSaylor1 journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
