WHAT & WHEN:

February 28th marks Rare Disease Day – a day designated to driving awareness and change for the more than 25 million Americans and 300 million people worldwide living and struggling with a rare disease. Subject matter experts from the National Organization of Rare Disorders (NORD), America's longest-standing rare disease patient advocacy organization are available to weigh-in on this important public health matter.

WHY:

  • 1 in 10 Americans are diagnosed with a rare disease – half are children.
  • Without knowing, and even without a family history, any one of us could have a genetic defect that becomes a rare disease, defined as any disease that impacts fewer than 200,000 patients.
  • There are more than 7,000 known rare diseases of which about 80% are genetic; less than 5% have treatments. Even fewer have cures.
  • Diagnosis can take five years or more with medical costs three to five times higher than non-rare diseases.
  • Patients with rare disease incur nearly half of all health care costs in the U.S.

WHO:
