On November 24th, our team had the privilege of presenting our innovative solutions to address the health challenge of the lack of a national newborn screening program for homocystinuria (HCU) to CanPKU+
In tackling this challenge, we devised three distinct strategies, each targeting specific populations:
1. Broad Promotions: We proposed implementing broad promotions, such as advertisements and social media posts, to reach a wider audience.
2. Healthcare Collaborations: Our second idea involved partnering with healthcare professionals, specifically doctors, to advocate for HCU. We aim to provide expecting mothers with informative pamphlets, fostering a collaborative approach to address this issue.
3. Student Engagement: Recognizing the power of future advocates, we proposed reaching out to optometry and public health students, like ourselves, who aspire to work in this field and are committed to advocating for future policy changes.
In the end, our strategy is about creating a ripple effect, expanding our reach to as many corners as possible, and using this momentum to advocate for a national newborn screening program. Advocating for this program is crucial, as it can prevent children from facing a lifetime of challenges and safeguard their health from the very start.
I am grateful for the collaborative experience with CanPKU+, and I am excited about the prospect of raising awareness for HCU in the future.
