European Parliament health committee calls for a rare disease action plan
A statement by a ministry, institution or international organisation, or a change in regulations. It is not evidence about how well a treatment works.
The European Parliament's Public Health Committee adopted, with 33 votes, a report calling on the European Commission to draw up an action plan for rare diseases. The report recommends that a diagnosis be made within one year of the first medical visit and that orphan drugs be purchased jointly. The report now goes to the Parliament's plenary session.
What does it mean for patients and families?
This is not yet binding law. If adopted, steps to speed up diagnosis in the EU could come onto the agenda.
