On the occasion of World Rare Disease Day, on February 28 and 29, various cities will be illuminated to give visibility to people living with these pathologies.
Cehegín City Council has wanted to join this initiative and some of its most emblematic buildings will be illuminated in this commemoration.
“It is a gesture, it has been explained from the session, which wants to show support to all people who suffer from some type of these diseases, while also wanting to be a cry of hope for all of them and an impulse to advance in their investigation ”.
The Spanish Federation of Rare Diseases celebrates, in coordination with the European Organization for Rare Diseases (EURORDIS) and with the Ibero-American Alliance for Rare Diseases (ALIBER), an Awareness Campaign framed on World Rare Disease Day.
The Campaign aims to raise awareness about rare diseases and place them as a priority in the social and health agenda.
FEDER coordinates and promotes in Spain a Solidarity Network formed by associations, companies, foundations, scientific societies and entities that carry the message through numerous communication channels.
In total, more than 340 entities participate in our country in the World Day of Rare Diseases organizing around more than 200 activities throughout Spain.
