A NEW WEB PORTAL FOR THYROID HEALTH HAS ARRIVED: www.spaziotiroide.it

Bracco is launching a web portal dedicated to the thyroid, complete with medical information on thyroid diseases and treatment innovations. The new website is a services and information portal regarding the thyroid, and positions itself as a knowledgeable and reliable source on questions of thyroid problems. It’s intended for doctors as well as the everyday user.

“Thyroid diseases have an elevated incidence and morbidity rate,” stated Hilke Baasch, Director of the Pharma Department at the Bracco Group. “They therefore represent, in addition to a higher healthcare expense, a challenge that doctors are confronted with on a daily basis and one which involves a significant number of their patients. Bracco, which has been in the healthcare field for over 85 years, has been a point of reference in the area of thyroid disease care for over 30 years. This is one of the sectors where we’ve invested most heavily going back to the early 80’s, and we’ve renewed our commitment today by providing customized solutions for patients.”

On May 21st Bracco, in collaboration with the CDI (Italian Diagnostic Center) and coinciding with the launch of the web portal and world thyroid week, launched an awareness campaign regarding the importance of thyroid function screening and its fundamental role in early diagnosis of thyroid diseases.

The new site, www.spaziotiroide.it, was presented at an event attended by: Paolo Vitti, Medical Department Head and Director of Endocrinology at the University Hospital of Pisa, Paola Cavaiani, Endocrinology Consultant to the CDI (Italian Diagnostic Center) and Medical Chief at the Hospital of Legnano, Department of Diabetic Foot and Metabolic Disorders at Abbiategrasso Hospital, Hilke Baasch, Pharma Department Director at Bracco Group and Federica Fontana, television personality and hostess at the event.
