Factor-H

Factor-H is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by Huntington's Disease (HD) in Latin America. Founded in 2012, the organization focuses on humanitarian aid, medical care, and social programs in regions with the highest prevalence of HD in the world, such as Venezuela, Colombia, and Peru. Factor-H facilitates scientific research by bridging the gap between local communities and international research institutions, ensuring that patients in these neglected regions are included in the global effort to find a cure. Their work includes providing access to specialized medical care, educational resources, and advocacy for the rights of HD patients. The organization is led by scientists and advocates who work closely with local grassroots organizations to implement sustainable care models.
