Discover how to get involved in Rare Disease Day 2023
Do not wait until the 28th February to participate. Do it right now!
Next 28th February 2023, the Rare Disease Day will be held around the world with the aim of raising global awareness amongst the general public and decision-makers about rare diseases and their impact on patients' lives. For this reason, Rare Disease Day targets not only the general public but also policymakers, public authorities, industry representatives, researchers, health professionals and anyone who has a genuine interest in rare diseases. This action provides an energy and focal point that enables rare diseases advocacy work to progress on the local, national and international levels.
Rare Disease Day, which was set up and is coordinated by EURORDIS and 65+ national alliance patient organisation partners, is the opportunity to advocate for rare diseases as a human rights priority at local, national and international levels as they work towards a more inclusive society.
The Rare Disease Day team has led to your disposition, material and handbooks you can use to build awareness by:
- sharing your colours via social media (#RareDiseaseDay and #LightUpforRare), events, illuminating buildings, monuments and homes,
- sharing experiences online and with friends,
- calling on policymakers
- shining the light on people living with a rare disease
We invite you all to participate in 2023 Rare Disease Day from today until the 28th of February! Discover all the actions that will take place during the following months on the official website.
