  • A study led by UCL found that individuals with rare diseases were five times more likely to die from Covid-19 than the general population.

The article from MSN discusses a study conducted in the UK which highlights that public health strategies often overlook patients with rare diseases. According to the research, these patients face significant challenges due to a lack of awareness, insufficient research, and inadequate funding for treatments specific to their conditions. The study points out that while common diseases receive considerable attention and resources, rare diseases, which collectively affect a significant number of people, are frequently neglected. This oversight results in delayed diagnoses, limited treatment options, and poorer health outcomes for those with rare conditions. The article calls for a reevaluation of health policy to ensure that individuals with rare diseases are not left behind in public health initiatives.
