The Member of Parliament (MP) for Korle Klottey, Dr Zenator Agyemang Rawlings, has expressed commitment to leading a strong advocacy in getting the Lupus disease captured under the National Health Insurance Scheme.
She acknowledged the high cost involved in diagnosis and treatment, hence the need for advocacy to ensure the chronic autoimmune disease was catered for by the Scheme.
Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that occurs when the immune system attacks its tissues.
It can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, joints, kidneys, and brain.
