Rare Disease UK receptions
We are in a leap year and in 2020 Rare Disease Day falls on… Friday 29 February. Over the next four weeks we will be reminding everyone about the day and what it stands for.
Rare Disease Day was created by EURORDIS – Rare Diseases Europe and its Council of National Alliances in 2008, and it has grown steadily in momentum ever since.
