Rare Disease Day 2016 – ‘Patient Voice’

RVA News

On 29 February 2016, people living with or affected by a rare disease, patient organisations, politicians, carers, medical professionals, researchers and industry will come together in solidarity to raise awareness of rare diseases.

The Rare Disease Day 2016 theme ‘Patient Voice’ recognises the crucial role that patients play in voicing their needs and in instigating change that improves their lives and the lives of their families and carers.

The Rare Disease Day 2016 slogan ‘Join us in making the voice of rare diseases heard’ appeals to a wider audience, those that are not living with or directly affected by a rare disease, to join the rare disease community in making known the impact of rare diseases.

Rare Voices Australia will be uploading all the events and activities associated with Rare Disease Day on the official Rare Disease Day website.

Please note the 2016 Rare Disease Day website will be launched 21st November (European time).
