RARE Health Equity Forum

September 18, 2023 – September 19, 2023

About the Health Equity Forum

The RARE Health Equity Forum, hosted by Global Genes in partnership with the Rare Disease Diversity Coalition (RDDC) convenes all stakeholders in the rare disease community to identify collaborative efforts to address inequities in the care of patients with rare diseases, specifically focusing on reducing disparities, discrimination, and biases felt by patient communities based on factors including socioeconomic status, ability, geographic location, religion, race, ethnicity, gender identity and/or language. 

Through plenary sessions, networking and interactive workshops, this event empowers attendees to advocate for more inclusion in the rare disease community and provides them with strategic insights and tools to support underserved and/or underrepresented patients.
