CONFERENCE:
organized by a global panel to improve the welfare and wellbeing of patients with rare diseases and their families world-wide through better knowledge, research, treatment, care, information, education and awareness of rare diseases.
The number of patients with each rare disease is very small in each country, but rare diseases do not know country boundaries. Consequently, they are best studied internationally.
