It's time for #RAREvolution and Patients and Public Involvement #PPI
Fact. Cant tell you how many doctors (especially in the ER) dont know what half my conditions are. Some are really dangerous & can kill me if not careful. You sometimes get the egotistical doc who hates being educated by the "lowly" patient.

FINALLY #Switzerland is actively taking steps to address #rarediseases. The #FederalCouncil is tasked with improving conditions for tackling rare diseases and establishing a foundation for the sustainable funding of efforts to collect, process, and share health information. #RAREvolution #ProRaris
Rare diseases legislation
Rare diseases present a major challenge to those affected and to the Swiss health system. On 12 September 2025 the Federal Council put a new federal act out for consultation, which is intended to improve the conditions for the implementation of measures to tackle rare diseases.

Why support the #Resolution4Rare? Because 58% of people with rare conditions face discrimination - in schools, workplaces and even healthcare settings. The WHA Resolution is a step toward inclusion & change. #MentalHealthAwareness #FaceEqualityWeek

Why support the #Resolution4Rare? Because rare diseases impact us all—family, friends, neighbors. Yet 300M+ people worldwide lack proper diagnosis, treatment & support.

It's time for equity & action.

Join us—urge leaders to commit to real change!

Years ago, when we wanted to present the BLACKSWAN Foundation with a brochure, our designer came up with a brilliant idea to represent research on #rarediseases without depicting individuals living with those conditions. He utilized an innovative process called WROP, or Water Random Offset Printing.
