| CAH Awareness Month 2022 Report |
CAH is not a tragedy... A lack of action is
Each June, CLAN, along with many other organisations, celebrates Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) Awareness Month, and celebrates communities living with CAH.
CLAN (Caring & Living As Neighbours) and Child & Youth care Zimbabwe (CYC) are so grateful for your support with social media activities during the month of June 2022, in support of #CAHAwarenessMonth and a happy and healthy future for #EVERYchild in the #CAHZimbabwe Community.
The United Nations has committed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. SDG 3.4 commits to reducing mortality associated with Non-Communicable Diseases (#NCDs) and other chronic health conditions by 30% by 2030.
In 2022 CAH is still associated with unacceptably high mortality rates in too many countries of the world. For this reason we believe June 2022 is the perfect time to come together as a #CAHCommunity; raise awareness of the inequities associated with CAH around the world; and advocate for change so that #EVERYchild enjoys affordable access to the essential medicines, equipment and healthcare needed to enjoy the highest quality of life possible.
We thank the international #CAHCommunity and its many passionate supporters for coming together to take action and ensure we #LeaveNoChildBehind in the lead up to 2030. Together, #WeAreCAH and together, we can #BeatNCDs and achieve #CAHequity.
What’s the good news in Zimbabwe?
In 2021 CLAN heard about the devastating situation for the #CAHCommunity of Zimbabwe. Essential medicine was unaffordably available and mortality rates were high.
CLAN reached out to our long-term partners in Pakistan, and through collaborative efforts with the wonderful Sally Mugabe Hospital staff in Harare, Zimbabwe were able to safely deliver a year’s supply of hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone tablets so that #EVERYchild living with CAH in Zimbabwe now has affordable access to the medicines they need.
In 2022 we are excited to partner with CYC Zimbabwe on a range of community development initiatives addressing the 5 Pillars of CLAN. Our goal is to not just to reduce mortality associated with CAH in Zimbabwe, but to improve quality of life for #EVERYchild living with CAH in Zimbabwe – and indeed, around the world.

CLAN and CYC will be sharing this Social Media Toolkit with our friends, partners and allies, so that we can all work together during the month of June 2022 as a united #CAHCommunity and contribute to collaborative efforts to:
