Rare Disease Day is a worldwide healthcare event, typically observed either on the last day of February or near the last day of February each year, intending to bring together the patients suffering from rare diseases and create a community in which awareness of their rarity profile, their condition, their diagnosis and their treatment are discussed. This year 2025, World Rare Disease Day is observed on 28 February, Friday.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the basis of a rare disease can be identified with its epidemiology. The frequency of any rare disease should be less than 6.5-10 per 10,000 people.
An Indian non-profit company, Organization for Rare Diseases India (ORDI), is set up to provide a collective voice for all Indian patients with rare diseases. Given India's enormous population, ORDI considers an illness rare if it affects one in every 5,000 Indians or less. ORDI has listed 263 rare diseases in India. The first 10 of them are:
This year, Rare Disease Day 2025 theme is "More than you can imagine; an anthology of rare experiences." It is a global call to highlight the unique challenges, resilience in the patients, and untold experiences of people suffering with rare diseases. By supporting their voices, advocating for better support systems, and exploring innovations in research and treatment of diseases, we can create meaningful life for patients. All of us together, we can recreate the awareness into work plan and provide a happy future for lakhs of people suffering with rare diseases globally.
Year by Year Theme of Rare Disease Day
Although all diseases can inflict tremendous suffering on patients, rare diseases pose more significant challenges than common disorders. The families and caretakers are also affected due to the guilt of not providing proper support for the treatment.
These diseases often involve severe, progressive illness and disability and may lead to premature death. In addition, rare diseases frequently affect more than one organ system and require collaborative research structures. Furthermore, being very rare, the treating healthcare team often misdiagnoses the patients due to overlapping symptoms seen with the common (non-rare) diseases.
For all of these above reasons, the awareness of rare diseases and allocation of funding for the research of the same would benefit greatly from improvements in translational research.
Organized by EURORDIS and coordinated by 65+ national alliance patient organization partners, the Rare Disease Day has aimed to spread awareness of various rare diseases in their respective countries since 2008.
The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center were involved in and sponsored these campaigns from 2011. Since then, this global observance of Rare Disease Day has touched the lives of affected people and their caretakers and raised awareness about NIH collaborations addressing the novel challenges brought by the advancement of scientific research for new treatments.
Some of the goals of NIH attempting to accomplish on the occasion of Rare Disease Day are:
