Rare Disease Day is an annual event recognised by countries around the world that aims to raise awareness of rare diseases and improve access to care, treatment, information and support. In the UK, 1 in 17 people will be affected by a rare disease at some point in their lives: this amounts to an average of over 5,000 people per constituency.
