 Europa - Public Health - Threats to health - non-communicable diseases - Rare diseases
Rare diseases, including those of genetic origin, are life-threatening or chronically debilitating diseases which are of such low prevalence that special combined efforts are needed to address them so as to prevent significant morbidity or perinatal or early mortality or a considerable reduction in an individual's quality of life or socio-economic potential.
Rare diseases are considered to have little impact on society as a whole, as the prevalence of each disease is low.
A global approach to rare diseases means that individual diseases do not fall through the net and real public health policies can be established in the areas of scientific and biomedical research, drug research and development, industry policy, information and training, social benefits, hospitalisation and outpatient treatment.
