The International FOP Association (IFOPA) plays a crucial role in connecting families to global knowledge that saves lives. Its emergency cards, flare-up management guides, and doctor toolkits provide clarity in moments of uncertainty.
In September, families across India and Nepal continued to rely on these resources. For example, when Ashik from Chennai consulted a rheumatologist, IFOPA’s protocols guided Dr. Vrisha Madhuri in clarifying safe treatments and avoiding risky procedures like nerve blocks.
This global-to-local bridge ensures that families are never left to guess when it comes to care, and that every doctor—whether in a city hospital or rural clinic—can learn to provide safer support.
