NEW Time: 18:00 – 20:00
Location: International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum, Avenue de la Paix, 1202 Geneva, Switzerland (opposite the Palais des Nations, location of the WHA)
This informal side event will serve to promote awareness and knowledge on the topic of rare diseases and to unite the international community, the patient community and all relevant stakeholders to address the unmet needs of this largely ignored and vulnerable population within Universal Health Coverage.
The event will start with a drinks reception followed by keynote addresses and a panel discussion. Delegates attending the WHA will have the opportunity to meet with patient advocates and other stakeholders from the rare disease community.
This is a free, open event, so please spread the word and extend this invitation to your friends and colleagues. Please note that RDI cannot offer financial aid to participants to attend this event.
We look forward to seeing you on 23 May.
