About Societi
Societi was established in 2015 as an organisation to raise awareness of Kawasaki Disease – a disease which affects hundreds of children in the UK each year. Societi is an influencing and policy shaping organisation which works through partnerships to drive transformational change in awareness across the UK, about Kawasaki Disease.
Progress in understanding Kawasaki Disease has been severely hampered by poor levels of awareness, a lack of investment and a lack of essential research in the UK. Kawasaki Disease is a medical emergency and we are working to get it recognised!
Children affected by Kawasaki Disease have a much improved chance of a good recovery with quick diagnosis and rapid treatment. By raising awareness of Kawasaki Disease we aim to ensure children receive prompt diagnosis, urgent treatment and appropriate long term care.
