Why caring about rare disorders matters


ONCE again, it's that time of the year when we commemorate the fight against rare disorders, as World Rare Disorders Day is just a week away on Feb 28.

Once again, I'm going to appeal to all reading this to care about the needs of those living with life-threatening or chronically debilitating disorders that affect one in every four thousand people or fewer.
