‘Conquer Your Ankylosing Spondylitis’.  Our efforts are driven by a passionate belief that we can significantly reduce the suffering of Ankylosing Spondylitis. For those yet undiagnosed, it can be reduced by raising awareness & cutting down on the diagnostic delay. For AS warriors, it can be reduced by empowering them to take informed decisions to live a healthy and fulfilling life.

We would like to grow as a platform for raising awareness & for mutually beneficial patient- rheumatologist interaction.

Objectives—

  • Raise awareness about Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) among general public.
  • Raise awareness about Ankylosing Spondylitis among Family physicians & other specialties.
  • Provide the correct information & help AS warriors in taking the right decisions.
  • Create a platform for healthy interaction between Rheumatologists, AS warriors & allied healthcare professionals for finding solutions & research.
  • Forming local support groups for Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) warriors
  • Work with Rheumatologists, Indian Rheumatology Association & government bodies towards insurance inclusion & reducing costs of biologics.
