alarming news from the world of health! On October 13th, the world thrombosis day is celebrated worldwide and the Viatris Group is making a big sign! A loud campaign is intended to raise awareness of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and thus save lives!

"In Germany, around 40,000 people die from pulmonary embolism every year," warns the high -ranking expert Prof. Dr. Rupert Bauersachs, a leading specialist in internal medicine and angiology. The problem? Many fates end because the symptoms are often not taken seriously. Deep ignorance can be fatal!

make growing danger indispensable!

Simon von Boeselager, head of Viatris Germany, has made a fight against this insidious disease. "It is important to draw people aware of the dangers of thrombosis!" Said his clear message. "Through our commitment to World Thrombosis Day, we want to raise awareness of the risks and encourage more movement!"

With the motto "Move Against Thrombosis" (movement against thrombosis), via the population, the population calls on being active! The core messages of the campaign are clear:

  • move: move your body actively to prevent thrombosis!
  • know: Be aware of the symptoms - recognize the warning signals!
  • think: speak to your doctor on it and let thrombosis think!

It is an urgent topic, because in Germany alone 100,000 cases of pulmonary embolism are counted annually, which, after heart attack and stroke, represents the third most common cause of death in cardiovascular medicine! Preventive treatment is therefore of the greatest urgency!

Recognize thrombosis - save life!

But what are the warning signs of thrombosis? Swelling, pain in the calf or shortness of breath should be taken seriously immediately. If these alarming symptoms are ignored, this can have fatal consequences. Quick action is required here!

Patients are particularly at risk during a hospital stay! Incredible 60 % of all venous thromboembolism occur in these critical moments. A critical state of state that the doctors simply cannot respect enough!

viamatris is actively involved not only by education, but also by supporting medical initiatives. At the same time, they call to know personal risk factors. High blood pressure, obesity and a family preload are just a few of the factors that massively increase the risk of thrombosis!

don't allow patients to be in danger! Visit the website of the thrombosis action alliance and check your risks via the online risk check!

The goal: sensitization of the population and request for action! Because the best protection against thrombosis is the knowledge of the disease and the willingness to actively act against it. Every life counts!
