We're pleased to share the first blog in an upcoming 5-part series on rare disease networks, written by our senior moderator Leigh Hart.
The opening article explores how rare disease communities evolved from isolated patient groups into the global networks that now connect patients, clinicians, researchers, regulators, and industry worldwide.
From Japan's pioneering Nanbyo programme to NORD, EURORDIS, and IRDiRC, it's an incredibly interesting look at the foundations of today's rare disease ecosystem.
