Care-for-Rare America — From Discovery to Cure
Children with rare diseases are the “orphans” of medicine. Their lives — and their family’s lives — are consumed by doctor appointments, visiting specialist after specialist (and often hospital after hospital) in the hunt for an end to their suffering. Frequent misdiagnoses add emotional agony. The uncertainty persists even when a definitive diagnosis is made, since many rare diseases are still incurable.
It does not need to be this way.
Through our focus on innovative research and international cooperation, Care-for-Rare gives children with rare diseases hope for a cure.
Care-for-Rare is committed to helping children and their families with rare diseases by:

Advancing science in national and global interdisciplinary alliances

Supporting education of physicians and scientists

Raising awareness in professional and local communities

Granting children access to cutting-edge diagnostics and therapy
“The destiny of children with rare diseases depends critically on enthusiastic scientists and international collaboration. Care-for-Rare provides a valuable platform for both – therefore, I proudly share its vision and mission!”
