Why this petition matters

Started by GPAC Global Patient Advocacy Coalition

PLEASE SIGN.  No donations needed.

We are asking for the FDA issue a Healthcare Provider Letter to INFORM ALL MEDICAL PROVIDERS of the recent FDA updates regarding breast implant safety including: 

  • Black Box Warning on ALL breast implants 
  • Risks of autoimmune diseases and symptoms
  • Risks of multiple cancers caused by breast implants
  • Risks of systemic health complications associated with breast implants

We have 1million medical doctors and 3.8 million nurses in the USA and FDA breast implant communications only reached 320,500 people.

It is crucial for all medical providers to be aware of the health complications and cancers that can be caused by breast implants. It will allow clinicians to navigate and support patients with breast implants. Recent events have uncovered that there were over 446,000 adverse events that were reported to the FDA, but they were not made available to the public.  Many patients suffer for years because their practitioners are unaware of this important information. FDA communication can protect and inform patients and practitioners to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment. 

Please sign the petition to ask the FDA to convey this information to the medical community.  (no donations needed)
