TO CONQUER ARTHRITIS

Arthritis Foundation of Asia helps to conquer everyday battles through life-changing information and resources, access and support to optimal care, advancements in science and community connections. Our goal is to chart a winning course, guiding families in developing personalized plans for living a full life – and making each day another stride

ACCESS

People with arthritis face unique barriers to care: high costs of treatment, difficulty accessing medications, scarcity of specialists and more. It’s hard for any individual to fight the battle alone. But through our effective and committed advocacy network, the Arthritis Foundation of Asia is working to address key issues towards a cure

SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY | For Better Treatments and a Cure

Science holds the key to finding better treatments and one day a cure for the more than  millions of people living  with arthritis and related diseases. On their behalf, the Arthritis Foundation of Asia continues to lead and fund cutting-edge scientific investigation to discover more about arthritis – what causes it, what affects it, what can stop it – and what can keep it from developing in the first place. The Foundation’s new scientific strategy will lead to a faster cure by strengthening the research pipeline and engaging creative minds.

HELP AND SUPPORT

The Arthritis Foundation is expanding our reach to assist even more people with arthritis. We offer trusted information, powerful health tracking tools and ways to connect with others. The Foundation works with health care providers and other partners to strengthen our educational and interactive offerings. We’re also building a state-of-the-art digital enterprise so people with arthritis can customize their online experience, find local resources and live better than ever.

COMMUNITY AND CONNECTIONS

The Arthritis Foundation’s social media communities and fundraising events bring us all together. We help individuals and families with arthritis form meaningful connections and find ways to give back – getting the support they need while supporting others.
