During RDI’s webinar “Towards a World Health Assembly Resolution” on 30 August 2024, co-hosted by Egypt, Qatar and Spain, France announced that it will co-sponsor the #Resolution4Rare alongside four other member states.
The webinar demonstrated the growing momentum towards the Resolution, with over 300 attendees and the participation of 5 Ministries of Health, the World Health Organization, and RDI member and partner organizations from 7 countries on 4 continents.

The key takeaways from the webinar were clear:
- Rare diseases must be a global health priority, integrated into Universal Health Coverage, to ensure that no one is left behind
- The Resolution co-sponsors are aligned on the need for a Global Action Plan to address the complex needs of Persons Living with a Rare Disease (PLWRD)
