National Rare Disease Week

President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo issued Presidential Proclamation No. 1989 s. 2010 declaring the 4th week of February of every year thereafter, as National Rare Disease Week (NRDW) to conduct a national information campaign in order to create awareness among health professionals about the nature and medical management of rare diseases; and instill awareness among the public about rare diseases to generate full support for the special needs of children affected by rare disease from both public and private sectors.

The theme of this year 7th NRDW campaign is “Patient Voice: Join Us in Making the Voice of Rare Diseases Heard”.

Let's us post this poster in our libraries as our contribution in raising national awareness and to generate support for the special needs of children affected by rare disease.
