Join Us In Observing Rare Disease Day On Feb. 28, 2010!

To raise awareness of rare diseases and the need for safe, effective treatments, people around the world will join together to observe the 2nd Annual Rare Disease Day on the last day of February (Feb. 28, 2010). NORD is coordinating this project in the U.S., and is inviting all patient organizations, caregivers, researchers, and companies developing orphan products to join in this observance. The purpose is to focus attention on rare diseases, the challenges encountered by those affected, and the importance of research to develop diagnostics and treatments.
