Why Advocacy Matters for Canada’s Lupus Community

Despite advances in lupus treatments, there are notable gaps that require attention and improvement in Canada.

The Importance of Advocacy

Driving Change for Lupus Patients

Despite significant advancements in lupus treatments, Canada still faces critical challenges in diagnosis, treatment, and research funding. Our collaboration with Mediaplanet’s Chronic Conditions campaign sheds light on these issues, emphasizing the need for dedicated lupus research funding to enhance patient care and foster innovation. While Canada boasts world-class researchers, the absence of a national lupus research strategy means that vital progress is at risk.

Lupus Canada is committed to advocating for increased investment and collaboration among policymakers, healthcare providers, and patient organizations to ensure that Canadians living with lupus receive the care and treatment they deserve.
