Rare Disease Day, February 28, 2014, Awareness-Raising Event, Internationally, Nationally..CARE-Join Together for Better Care
First time I heard about this was just today…Did you know about it? We hear so much about any other days but this one is probably so important to those jumping hoops to continue with their healthcare. My heart goes out to them.
Rare Disease is also known as Orphan Disease and is any disease that affects a small percentage of the population.
The Day was first launched in Europe in 2008 and in 2013 over 70 countries participated in raising awareness amongst the general public and decision-makers about the impact on patients’ lives these rare diseases cause. Every day is a struggle.
