Challenges for Patients with Rare Diseases

Improper and Delayed Diagnosis

The dearth of expertise and knowledge in the rare diseases field has meant that patients often wait several years for a diagnosis, frequently receiving misdiagnoses and undergoing unnecessary, invasive investigations.1

Inappropriate Disease Management

The late diagnosis delays initiation of appropriate treatment and is often the main reason for inappropriate disease management, disease progression, treatment failure, increased mortality, and worsened well-being among rare disease patients.2

Reduced Trust and Adherence in Overall Treatment

Patients and caregivers are often seen to struggle with increased depression, loss of work, lack of information & trust in medical providers, symptom burden, and low adherence.3

The most important challenge in rare disease is diagnostic delays and the dissemination of standardized and primary care management by primary care physicians. Follow-up is also challenging as the codification is not easily accessible to the general patient.
