14th National Rare Disease Week Philippines

February 22, 2023 @ 8:00 am - February 28, 2023 @ 5:00 pm



Be part of National Rare Disease Week Philippines and #ShareYourColours for Rare Disease Awareness! #CareForRarePH

Held every last week of February, National Rare Disease Week (February 22-28) aims to raise awareness and public support for people living with rare diseases. The event also culminates with Rare Disease Day, a globally coordinated movement on rare diseases held every last day of February.

Everyone deserves equitable opportunities and access to healthcare. However, people living with a rare disease are more likely to face misdiagnosis and isolation. This year, join us, light up, and be in solidarity with over 300 million people living with a rare condition.
