'Ireland has more cases than anywhere else in the world, that’s why it is vital that no Irish person should go undiagnosed'
UP to 20,000 in Ireland are estimated to be living with a life-threatening condition that can cause organ damage and even death if untreated, it’s been warned.
As part of a worldwide awareness campaign that will take place from June 1 until June 7, The Irish Haemochromatosis Association is urging members of the public to get checked for the condition and said knowing the symptoms could save lives. Dr. Maurice Manning, who lives with haemochromatosis and is current Chair of the Irish Haemochromatosis Association said: “Ireland has more cases than anywhere else in the world, that’s why it is vital that no Irish person should go undiagnosed.
“If anyone seeing this campaign and recognises any of the symptoms seek medical advice. Simply make an appointment with your GP and take a blood test. It could make all the difference.”
