International Awareness Day for Chronic Immunological and Neurological Diseases
International Awareness Day for Chronic Immunological and Neurological Diseases is observed across the world on May 12. Since 1992, this date has been designated as International Awareness Day for Chronic Immunological and Neurological Diseases. It marks the birthday of Florence Nightingale — the creator of ‘modern nursing.’ Early detection, sensitivity to the disease, reduced feelings of isolation in patients, and prejudice due to ignorance are all benefits of disease awareness. It also facilitates policy reforms and research. The medical community hopes to raise awareness about a variety of disorders that fall under the “Chronic Immunological and Neurological Diseases” (CIND) umbrella by commemorating this day.
