Approximately 1 in 10 people, or 450 million people worldwide, are living with an Autoimmune or Autoinflammatory Arthritis Disease.
Lack of awareness leads to relationship conflicts, delayed diagnosis, compromised quality of life, and elevated healthcare costs. Education about these diseases, including the fact they are full body diseases affecting many parts (joints, tissues, organs) is necessary to improve the lives of the 450 million worldwide affected.

Host of World AUTOimmune and AUTOinflammatory Arthritis Day
The International Foundation of Autoimmune and Autoinflammatory Arthritis established World AUTOimmune & AUTOinflammatory Arthritis Day #AiArthritisDay in 2012, in response to patients requesting a day that differentiates their diseases from osteoarthritis, primarily a degenerative joint disease resulting from the joint's cartilage deterioration with age, overuse, or injury.
Since then, the purpose has evolved to include education and awareness generally, as well as to collect important resources from around the world so people affected by these diseases can connect to them.
AiArthritis manages the day through the official World AUTOimmune & AUTOinflammatory Arthritis Day social media pages; however it is a day for ALL community members and patient organizations to celebrate, DRIVE education and awareness, and fundraise.
