A thought provoking programme facilitating engagement to improve patient access for rare diseases in Africa
About us
We are pleased to announce that the third biennial Rare Diseases Conference (Rare-X 2024) will take place from 14 to 17 February 2024 at the Indaba Hotel and Conference Centre, Johannesburg. The purpose of the conference is to provide a forum for rare disease patients, doctors, and stakeholders to connect and collaborate, and to facilitate an ongoing dialogue on rare diseases and their treatment. Rare-X 2024 brings together South African, African, and international rare diseases communities, as well as policymakers and government agencies responsible for matters related to healthcare and health insurance. Stakeholders delivering essential services to the rare disease community will also be in attendance. Via panel discussions, presentations, and networking, the conference presents a comprehensive dialogue which provides insightful guidance to the rare disease community. In addition to the technical programme of presentations and panels, the conference offers a social programme of a Welcome Networking Reception and Conference Dinner. A vital part of the conference community is the patient support groups that attend. Disease or condition-specific support groups share missions and objectives and can learn from each other’s outreach techniques and fundraising methods and see how other groups serve their communities’ needs. Rare-X 2024 will provide patients, families, and stakeholders with a professional and structured yet caring and inclusive environment in which to learn and network.
