Rare Diseases

Rare diseases are health conditions that affect a small percentage of the population. They may be chronic, genetic, or degenerative and can affect any body part, causing a broad spectrum of symptoms. Treatment may involve specialized therapies, medications, or supportive care, but while some rare diseases are treatable, others require lifelong management. Diagnosis can be complex and take a long time, and finding an encouraging community is challenging but can support a better quality of life.[1]
