India's Rare Disease Crisis Demands Collaborative Solutions

Imagine many different illnesses, each affecting only a few people, but together, impacting a huge number of people in India.

These are called rare diseases, and they are often caused by problems in our genes.

They can start early in life, sometimes even at birth.

Sadly, these diseases can make it hard for children to grow and develop normally, and can even lead to early deaths.

The government has started to address this issue with a policy, but there are still many challenges to overcome to help those affected.
