BioPartner, VICO & Ntrans, joined forces this year and shared the colours to help raise awareness for Rare Disease Day, with the aim to help generate change for the 300 million people worldwide living with a rare disease including their families and carers.
Our companies work on therapies for rare diseases and it was our goal to educate and inform all those working in the BioPartner Incubator Buildings and beyond, of the wonderful work done by Eurodis and the affiliated patient organisations.
Since its creation in 2008, Rare Disease Day has played a critical part in building an international rare disease community that is multi-disease, global, and diverse– but united in purpose.
Rare Disease Day is observed every year on 28 February (or 29 in leap years)—the rarest day of the year.
Rare Disease Day was set up and is coordinated by EURORDIS and 65+ national alliance patient organisation partners. Rare Disease Day provides an energy and focal point that enables rare diseases advocacy work to progress on the local, national and international levels.
Though Rare Disease Day is patient-led, everyone, including individuals, families, caregivers, healthcare professionals, researchers, clinicians, policy makers, industry representatives and the general public, can participate in raising awareness and taking action today for this vulnerable population who require immediate and urgent attention.
Until next year!
