PAH – Diseases Awareness

PAH-forum
Background
PAH (Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension) is a heart and lung disease which can strike anyone at any time of life. With symptoms including tiredness, shortness of breath and nausea, it resembles other more common diseases like asthma and COPD, which means it can take a while to conclude the correct diagnosis. Without treatment, the median survival time for PAH patients is just under three years.

Website
PAH-forum.se is a site which is completely dedicated to PAH: how the disease is detected, how it feels and how it is treated. The site is full of accounts from patients, films and everything worth knowing about PAH. The PAH forum is aimed at people suffering from PAH and their relatives, and people who have not yet been diagnosed. The aim is to ensure that more people are diagnosed earlier. Listen to stories from patients, get answers to frequently asked questions and pick up advice and support for people living with the disease.

Training and exercise are an important part of the treatment. This brochure, produced in association with a physiotherapist, contains information, advice and exercises for people living with PAH. 

Direct mail to the healthcare sector
To raise awareness of the disease, a direct mailing has been sent to doctors who encounter patients with symptoms that could indicate PAH.  

Postcard to the healthcare sector
On the postcards are quotations from patient interviews describing experiences and symptoms. Turn over the postcard and find out what disease it is.
