VA Updated Their Burn Pit Registry
The Veteran Affairs has launched their redesigned Burn Pit Registry. Veterans can register with the database which will help VA better understand and research how toxic exposure affected Veterans during their service.
“The Burn Pit Registry is fueling groundbreaking research and enabling VA’s ability to identify and proactively address health challenges that toxic-exposed Veterans face at a population level,” said Under Secretary for Health Shereef Elnahal, M.D. “While the registry does not impact an individual Veteran’s health care or benefits, it does serve as a catalyst for advancing new and innovative treatments for the Veteran population as a whole — including informing decisions related to presumptive conditions, more precise predictive medicine, and proactive Veteran care. This redesign massively expands the registry and reduces the participation requirements for Veterans, paving the way for critical research in the coming years.”
