It is World PI Week 2022!

From 22-29 April, join us to support access to quality healthcare for all people living with primary immunodeficiency worldwide. 

This year, we are highlighting the difference that proper diagnosis, quality treatment and care make for patients and their families. 

4 key themes are in the spotlight: early diagnosis and newborn screening, universal access to treatment and care, research, and preventative medicine. Read more here

New podcast on preventative medicine now available!

This Friday, World PI Week welcomes Prof. Bobo Grimbacher, an Immunologist at the Institute for Immunodeficiency, University of Freiburg in Germany; and Nurse Specialist Ruchi Saka, from the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in India, for a new podcast of the #WPIWTalks. This episode examines the role of both preventative medicine and life enhancing measures in the treatment of PIDs.
