Rare disease day - official video

If you care for someone with a rare disease, you are not alone. There are over 6000 rare diseases. For most, there is no cure. For many, there is no independence.
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. People living with a rare disease and their families are often isolated. The wider community can help to bring them out of this isolation.
The Australian Rare Disease Day website provides a platform for those affected by rare disease to communicate and sharing experiences as well as raising awareness amongst the general public.
Support the campaign by liking the Facebook page, and sharing your stories.
