This partnership illustrates Philips’ expanding efforts to increase awareness of how sleep impacts people’s health and well-being all around the world, on a daily basis.
“Philips is honored to be working with the World Association of Sleep Medicine,” commented Dr. David White, Chief Medical Officer for Philips Home Healthcare Solutions and a Professor of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School. “Through the sponsorship of the World Sleep Day we aim to increase people’s understanding of the seriousness of sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) which, if not properly managed, can have a significant impact on a person’s health and well-being.”
Commenting on the sponsorship with Philips, Antonio Culebras, Professor of Neurology at SUNY, Upstate Medical University in New York, and co-Chair of World Sleep Day said, “We’re excited to be working with Philips in raising awareness of the significant and increasing impact lack of sleep is having on people across the world.”
