Pharmacists and pharmacy assistants are being urged to learn more about mitochondrial health during Global Mitrochondrial Disease Awareness Week, taking place from 18-25 Sep.
Initiatives include a medical symposium on mitochondrial health and fundraising activities such as a "National Stay in Bed Day" on Sun 25 Sep, when Aussies are invited to 'sleep in for mito'.
Mitochondrial disease is a complex genetic disorder that starves the body's cells of energy, depriving organs and muscles of the power they need to function properly - see www.amdf.org.au.
