Rare Disease Day was first observed in 2008 by EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe and the Council of National Alliances to raise awareness about rare diseases. It falls on the last day of February, but in leap years like 2024, it is observed on February 29th. This day aims to shed light on the challenges faced by individuals and families affected by rare diseases. The theme for Rare Disease Day 2024 is "Share Your Colours," emphasizing the importance of collaboration and support for those with rare diseases. This day aims to raise awareness, build a community, and promote equity in healthcare access for individuals with rare diseases. It serves as a reminder that while these diseases are individually rare, they collectively impact millions of lives. In Europe, there is growing momentum for a comprehensive European Action Plan for Rare Diseases, supported by robust EU policy initiatives and concrete objectives. Various European nations are also progressing with their national strategies to tackle rare diseases. #health #rarediseaseawareness #raredisease #rarediseaseday #shareyourcolours #ActRare2024 Dragoslav Popovic Dina Štern Linda Franicevic Lisa A.
