WORLD CONTRACEPTION DAY

This day aims to increase knowledge of contraception options and empower young people to make well-informed choices about their sexual and reproductive health. People should be aware of contraception's benefits in the fight against unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases like HIV. For couples and individuals to make free and responsible decisions about the number and spacing of their children, contraception is a crucial component. Planning a family gives people more chances to reach their potential; they can participate and make contributions, which promotes more affluent and stable communities.

Reducing sexually transmitted illnesses, high-risk pregnancies, mother and infant mortality, and teenage and unplanned pregnancies can be accomplished through increasing access to affordable contraception and family planning programmes. Female empowerment is also important in motivating women to make decisions that affect their reproductive health.

To achieve this, various leaders and organisations must get involved and collaborate. It is crucial to remember that family planning has effects beyond health. Having children you can care for has a good impact on society and the country at large since it reduces the crime rate and boosts productivity.

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 3 The past few days at The 38th Annual North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) have been inspiring. I've gained a deeper understanding of CF, CF care, cutting-edge research, and, most importantly, the lived experiences of people living with cystic fibrosis and their families. I am leaving this session with more inspiration to serve people living with CF with my work. Thank you to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for this invaluable opportunity to learn, connect, and be more inspired. #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 2 Yet another exciting day at NACFC! I started with an interactive session on some research procedures, which I found helpful for my recruiting work and the data's impact on the population. I learned a lot from the CFTR genetics session, which aligns with one of my research group's projects, and the plenary session on The Journey to Understand and Advance Research in CFRD. I wrapped up the day by networking with colleagues at Johns Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Center #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 1 Another exciting day at the NACFC! I started with the morning educative session, reconnecting with my incredible research team and reviewing their insightful posters for the conference. It was also a great learning session at the endocrinology abstract presentations. I engaged in the roundtable discussion, which aligned closely with my research focus, the session on the CF disease mechanism, and the plenary session, which was a great opportunity to stay updated on the advancements in CF therapies. I wrapped up the day with some general and group social gatherings because it’s all about building relationships and sharing ideas! #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis
