This year’s Rare Disease Day comes at a crucial time, weeks before we expect the publication of the pharmaceutical package which will revise the General Pharmaceutical Legislation, Paediatics, and OMP Regulations, which will set the tone for the EU rare disease ecosystem for at least the next 2 decades.
The theme for this year’s Rare Disease Day is equity, so we wanted to take the opportunity to dive into some of these debates and asses what the EU can do in this space, especially against the backdrop of the legislative review.
To breakdown this year’s Rare Disease Day and its importance for addressing the 95% of rare diseases with no treatment, we’re joined by:
Simone Boselli, Director of Public Affairs, EURORDIS - Rare Diseases Europe
Alexander Natz, Secretary-General, EUCOPE
