National Rare Disease Day - a group of doctors discussing

February 28th is National Rare Disease Day!

National Rare Disease Day is observed on the last day of February every year. This day is observed to raise awareness about rare diseases and the impact they have on the lives of people affected by them.

The day was first observed in 2008 by the European Organization for Rare Diseases, and since then, it has been observed globally.

National Rare Disease Day is a platform to raise awareness about rare diseases, encourage research, and advocate for policies to improve the lives of people affected by rare diseases.

On this day, events are held worldwide to create awareness, share information, and encourage support for people living with rare diseases. The theme for Rare Disease Day 2022 is “Beyond Borders: Improving the Diagnosis and Treatment of Rare Diseases Globally.”
