Rare Disease Day 2020 Berlin
Rare Disease Day traditionally takes place on the last day of February each year, with the next one falling on February 29, 2020 – a rare occasion and is honored around the world with the objective to raise awareness amongst the general public and decision makers regarding rare diseases and the challenges patients face. Rare diseases collectively affect not just a few, but over 350 million people around the world, which is equivalent to 4% of the world population – thus not as rare as the term suggests. Every year throughout February, CENTOGENE takes the opportunity to enhance the visibility of rare diseases. RDD is a special opportunity to bring together individuals to raise awareness and advocate for faster diagnosis and easier access to innovative treatments for all those affected by rare diseases. CENTOGENE’s Rare Disease Day 2020 campaign enforces the overall goal – to raise awareness amongst policy makers, public authorities, researchers, health professionals, and the general public. This year’s Rare Disease Day specifically focuses on the need to find solutions for shortening patients’ diagnostic odyssey. With events being held in Lahore/Pakistan, Berlin, and Mexico City, we underline our commitment in supporting patients, patient organizations, and local physicians around the world.
