Inadequate Care in HD

Dr. Ratna and Lauren Holder talk about Dr. Ratna's research and inadequate care in the HD community in India "I am a doctor, pursuing clinical care and research in HD for the past 5 years. I met approximately 150 HD patients and about 50 families are in regular consultation with me. This sensitized me to the misery created by HD in various contexts such as social, economic and cultural besides the obvious biological deterioration of the individual. I am committed to the cause of empowering HD affected individuals and families through clinical care, HD centric research and community activities through HDSI. I strongly believe in team work and have been connecting all the HD related people from India and abroad. I am currently serving as the vice chairman of Huntington Disease Society of India.
