Rare Disease Day
Rare Disease Day is observed on the last day of February each year to raise awareness about rare diseases and their impact on patients' lives. It aims to highlight the challenges faced by individuals with rare conditions, which often receive little attention and funding for research.
The day encourages collaboration among patients, healthcare professionals, and researchers to improve diagnosis, treatment, and support for those affected. Events and activities are organized globally to promote understanding and foster community among those impacted by rare diseases, emphasizing the importance of advocacy and research in this field.
