Congratulations Think Aorta UK!

On World Health Organization (WHO) World Patient Safety Day #WPSD2024, we celebrate how #THINKAORTA has improved #AorticDissection diagnosis and made the UK a safer place for AD patients. In England & Wales, Type A dissection surgical cases are up 82% over 10 years. In Scotland, the increase is 127% in the #THINKAORTA era of 2015-2022, compared with 2008-14. ❤️


We are happy to be supporting many other countries to implement their own #THINKAORTA campaigns and achieve similar results.
