To mark the occasion of Rare Disease Day 2017, Rare Diseases International, the Global Alliance of Rare Disease Patients, in partnership with the BLACKSWAN Foundation, the Swiss Foundation for Research on Orphan Diseases, and EURORDIS – Rare Diseases Europe, invite you to join people living with a rare disease and policy makers at a unique face-to-face discussion.

The event is the first of its kind to be organised in Geneva and will gather international experts in the fields of public health, human rights, epidemiology, scientific research and patient advocacy to discuss why and how rare diseases should be included in the global health agenda.
