Each year, February marks the observance of Rare Disease Month, culminating in Rare Disease Day on the final day of the month. However, this year, Rare Disease Day holds an extra layer of significance, falling on February 29<\/span>th<\/span>, the rarest day of the year due to 2024 being a leap year!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To date, there are over 7,000 rare diseases, each of which affect fewer than 250,000 people, or only 1 in approximately 31,500. Rare Disease Day serves as a global platform to raise awareness for the millions living with rare diseases worldwide. It is a day not only to shed light on the challenges faced by those affected but also to celebrate their resilience alongside their families. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Navigating the world of rare diseases presents countless hurdles – limited research, inadequate awareness, and insufficient funding all contribute to the struggles faced by patients seeking care, understanding and support. For many, even obtaining an accurate diagnosis can be a challenge. At RareMed, our mission is clear: to expedite access to life-changing therapies for those with rare and complex conditions. It is our goal and commitment to these patients to help alleviate these burdens. Rare Disease Day is more than an annual event for us, it is a way to honor the millions of lives we serve and a reminder of those still awaiting breakthrough treatments. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Since the last Rare Disease Day, RareMed has made significant strides in fulfilling our mission. We\u2019ve relocated to a cutting-edge facility tailored to accommodate our expanding team and enhance our patient support services. Moreover, we have broadened our scope to encompass not just rare disease but also complex conditions, bolstering our capacity to effect positive change for much needed patient populations. We have also expanded geographically, with new teams across the country we are better position to deliver medication and support to those in need, driving us closer to our ultimate goal of transforming the lives of patients within the rare disease community. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n At RareMed, we celebrated Rare Disease Day with a spirit week and company-wide town hall meeting.
