Rare Disease Day on February 28

 

Rare Disease Day, which takes place on the last day of February each year, seeks to raise awareness about rare diseases and their impact on individuals' lives. This year’s theme, "More Than You Can Imagine,” emphasizes that rare diseases can affect more than imagined, including physical health as well as social, emotional, and economic dimensions.

The campaign calls for people living with a rare disease to have equal opportunities to realize their full participation in family, work, and social life. Learn more at RareDiseaseDay.org.
