WHAT IS RARE DISEASE DAY?

Rare Disease Day is the globally-coordinated movement on rare diseases, working towards equity in social opportunity, healthcare, and access to diagnosis and therapies for people living with a rare disease.

​

Since its creation in 2008, Rare Disease Day has played a critical part in building an international rare disease community that is multi-disease, global, and diverse– but united in purpose.

Throughout the month of February, we’ll be inviting South Africans to share, learn,  and imagine on social media and we need you to help us spread the word. Here is how…
