The Rheumatology Association of Gujarat (RAG), with support from Antardhwani, launched a dedicated Lupus Patient Support Group to strengthen support for individuals living with autoimmune diseases.

The initiative aims to create a platform where patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals can connect and share guidance. Around 150 participants attended the launch programme, interacting with experts who discussed lupus, its impact on the immune system and organs, and related concerns, including women's health and pregnancy.
