World Allergy Week is April 8-14

The World Allergy Organization (WAO) is hosting the third annual World Allergy Week April 8-14 on the theme of “Food Allergy—A Rising Global Health Problem.” Because food allergy is rising in prevalence in both developed and developing countries, especially in children, WAO will highlight food allergy concerns and the need for enhanced education and patient care services worldwide during this week.

There are many ways to participate and highlight food allergies, provide information about their increasing prevalence, and explain the need for enhanced education and patient care services to improve safety, prevention, and quality of life. Visit the WAO website for a variety of resources that can be useful in your activities and communications.
