Rare Diseases: A Catalyst for Global Health Transformation

During the 79th World Health Assembly, Rare Diseases International (RDI) will host a side-event in Geneva titled “Rare Diseases: A Catalyst for Global Health Transformation”, which will bring together policymakers, patient advocates, industry leaders, researchers, and global health institutions to move from commitment to implementation. It builds on the landmark WHA Resolution “Rare Diseases; a global health priority for equity and inclusion” adopted at the 78th WHA during the discussion on UHC and co-sponsored by 41 Member States, recognizing rare diseases as a global health priority for equity and inclusion, and advancing a 10-Year Global Action Plan.
