In honour of Rare Diseases Day, we look forward to presenting this webinar on Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH): Treatment pathways and your care plan.
Our expert clinician will provide an overview of PAH and an insight into the current treatments and therapies to help get the most out of your treatment and care.
We will also be joined by two consumer representatives who will answer some of the most asked questions from the community around living well with PAH.
Both pre-submitted and live questions from participants joining the webinar will be answered by the panel.
