World Parkinson's Program starts Parkinson's Education Clubs around the World - A landmark in the history of Parkinson's.
TORONTO (Canada). November 1, 2014. World Parkinson’s Program announces starting Parkinson’s Education Clubs in the underdeveloped countries and other parts of the world. Parkinson’s disease is a chronic disabling neurological condition which affects more than six million individuals around the World. Parkinson’s disease occurs in all geographical regions around the globe and affects all races. Receiving a diagnosis of Parkinson’s and dealing with long-term disability caused by Parkinson’s can be quite overwhelming and distressful. With the help of Parkinson’s Education Clubs, patients will get a chance to talk about their life experiences and ways of coping with day-to-day difficulties with other individuals who may have a similar experience.
World Parkinson’s Program will provide educational lectures, brochures and CDs as well as informational literature on the various aspects of Parkinson’s in the local languages. Currently the educational literature of World Parkinson’s Program about Parkinson’s disease is available in thirteen languages. This informational material will be used for educational purpose during the club meetings. The World Parkinson’s Program aims to establish its educational clubs in all major cities around the world. World Parkinson’s Program is the first global organization to initiate the Parkinson’s Education Clubs with a similar theme in all parts of world. This will be a major breakthrough in the history of Parkinson’s disease at the global level.
A Parkinson’s Education Club can be started by any healthcare worker or institution, Parkinson’s volunteer or student who has a passion for making a difference in the lives of those affected with Parkinson’s. Parkinson’s Education Clubs will provide a platform for the Parkinson’s patients, caregivers and the community to share, discuss and find ways to cope with Parkinson’s disease.
The participants of meeting of Parkinson’s Education Club will benefit from the mutual support from their peers and there will be opportunities to help others from one’s own personal experience about the Parkinson’s disease. Establishing the Parkinson’s Education Clubs at a global level were the vision of Dr. Rana, the founder of World Parkinson’s Program, who saw them as a “global need of those dealing with Parkinson’s”. Volunteer individuals who would like to open an educational club of World Parkinson's Program should contact the Central Executive Committee of the World Parkinson's Program expressing their interest by email at This email address is being protected from spambots.

August 2014. Parkinson's disease affects every race and is present in every part of the world. World Parkinson's Program conducts Parkinson's Education Campaigns in various regions, countries, and continents around the year. Usually each month a different region is selected for this campaign. In September 2014, World Parkinson's Program will be running a Parkinson's Education Campaign in Saudi Arabia and other Asian Arab Countries. Parkinson's disease is estimated to affect about 50 thousand individuals in Saudi Arabia. Proper knowledge about Parkinson’s disease in patients and caretakers is the key to ensuring that patients can cope effectively and manage their day to day activities. A lack of awareness of the disease in patients can result in a lack of confidence, and increased confusion or anxiety, leading to a poor quality of life. Promoting education about Parkinson's disease is the primary goal of World Parkinson's Program, which is why a special program for Arabic speaking individuals has been developed by us. We provide educational brochures, handbooks, and CDs in Arabic about various aspects of Parkinson's disease, free of charge, for patients and caregivers.
