Description
A rare disease is defined as a life-threatening or chronically debilitating disorder or condition which is uncommon in the general population. Over 6000 rare diseases have been so far identified, with 80% of them having a genetic origin. It is estimated that about 6-8% of Australians are affected by a rare disease.
This year's theme for Rare Disease Day is "Bridging health and social care".
