Vigifavisme

Vigifavisme is a French association for people with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, also known as favism. Its website serves as an information and support resource for affected individuals, families and healthcare professionals. It explains the condition and provides practical guidance on potential risks, including lists of medicines, foods and other products considered dangerous for people with G6PD deficiency. Visitors can access useful documents, including a National Diagnostic and Care Protocol, and find information about specialist reference centres.

The association shares information about its history, organisation, missions and activities, and invites visitors to become members. Dedicated sections address people living with G6PD deficiency and doctors, alongside frequently asked questions and links to relevant websites, research, bibliographies and publications. The site also covers other red blood cell disorders, including pyruvate kinase deficiency and congenital dyserythropoiesis. It features the testimony of a mother whose three children have G6PD deficiency and provides information about her book, Liés à l’X. Through these resources, Vigifavisme offers practical information about the condition and its management.
