International Gaucher Day
International Gaucher Day (IGD) was launched in 2014 and is celebrated annually on 1st October to raise awareness of Gaucher disease.
The focus of #IGD2020 was to improve patients' quality of life by campaigning for home therapy following the challenges faced by many Gaucher patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, and our strapline was Homes Not Hospitals

Each year we share the campaign focus in advance with our members and industry partner and provide a selection of downloadable materials (posters, social media images, email signature strip etc.) here on our website.
In recent years we have also made available to our member associations a selection of merchandise to help them raise awareness in their own countries. This is made possible by the generous support of our industry partners.
