Celebrating Rare Disease Day on February 29!
February 29 marks Rare Disease Day (RDD), an annual observance occurring on February 29, the “rarest” day of the year! Rare Disease Day, established in 2008, is a global movement advocating for social equity, healthcare access, and diagnosis and therapies for those with rare diseases. Observed annually on February 28 (or 29 in leap years), it unites a diverse international rare disease community under the coordination of EURORDIS and 65+ national alliance patient organisations.
