\nThe World Health Organization (WHO) on Saturday commended Kuwait’s efforts to raise awareness about Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) at various gatherings with a view to supporting progress in treatment.<\/p>\n
This came in a press release issued by the WHO’s Representative in Kuwait Dr. Assad Hafeez on the occasion of the World Duchenne Awareness Day, which falls on September 7.<\/p>\n
He added that the State of Kuwait played a key role in the promotion of this day at various events and organizations, including the United Nations (UN), to disseminate a deep understanding of rare genetic disorders, spur early diagnosis, and buttress progress in treatment and care.<\/p>\n
Hafeez termed the World Duchenne Awareness Day as a vital opportunity to raise the voice of people with DMD worldwide, reiterating the WHO’s commitment to working with Kuwait and other member countries to provide better health care.<\/p>\n

It is caused by a mutation on the X-chromosome, that is why mainly males are affected.<\/p>\n
Recognizing that Duchenne muscular dystrophy is one of the most common pediatric genetic rare diseases, the General Assembly decided to designate 7 September, the current World Duchenne Awareness Day, as a United Nations Day, to be observed every year beginning in 2024.<\/p>\n
