Beyond medical coordination, this week also supported public awareness and sensitization.
👮♂️ A special FOP Awareness Training Program for Police Personnel was conducted during their in-service training session.
The session covered:
- What is FOP?
- Why misdiagnosis and wrong injection can cause permanent disability
- How to identify flare-up symptoms
- First response protocol during emergencies
- Importance of protecting children from unnecessary injury during physical training
The participation and interest from officers reinforced that awareness beyond the medical community is equally important in preventing avoidable harm.
