More conditions

It is an unfortunate truth that there are many people worldwide suffering from debilitating medical conditions including those mentioned on these pages.

These conditions are non-contagious, but the physical or social symptoms may have a severe impact on the sufferer’s ability to lead a normal everyday life. Although these conditions may not require hospitalisation, they may involve a level of dependency on families, friends and other carers, as well as regular treatment by specialist physicians.

The good news is that most of the conditions can be successfully treated, either with medication or life-style modification or both.
