Rare Diseases affect less than 1 in 2,000 people. There are about 8,000 rare diseases. In Europe, there are 30 million rare patients of whom, according to Orphanet estimates, about 2 million live in Italy.

The many rare diseases that exist are different from each other: for the different ages at which they can arise, for the type of disability they cause, for the knowledge or not of the cause, for the possibility or not of preventing them, for the availability or not of a care.

LIRH Foundation participates in World Rare Disease Day 2021. The voices of patients and caregivers will take on color through their testimonies: 

  • what does it mean to have a rare disease?
  • what does it mean to have Huntington's disease?
  • if you were the minister of health, what would you do?

The protagonists will answer these questions. Starting from today, February 22, until Sunday, February 28, World Rare Disease Day.
