A unique opportunity
ECRD’s 2020 theme “The journey of living with a rare disease in 2030” recognises that the next decade holds great potential for improvement, we all have a role to play in preparing for it. Tremendous progress has been made by the rare disease community, but vigilance and constant effort is necessary if we wish to hold on to important gains.
The health of 30 million people living with a rare disease in Europe should not be left to luck or chance. As the EU plans its future expenditure, ECRD 2020 serves as an opportunity to press the “pause button” and consider what policies we need to put in place today to prepare for a better patient journey in 2030 and beyond.
The dialogue, learning and conversations that take place during the Conference form part of the groundwork that will shape current and future rare disease policies and allow for important and innovative discussions on a national and an international level to take place.
