A resolution designating February 28, 2023, as "Rare Disease Day".
SRES 84 designates February 28, 2023, as Rare Disease Day to acknowledge the more than 25 million Americans living with rare diseases - conditions affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. The resolution encourages efforts to improve public awareness, support early diagnosis, and advance research for treatments, without creating new legal requirements or funding. It recognizes ongoing federal initiatives like the FDA's Accelerating Rare Disease Cures program and the 2023 rare disease endpoint pilot.
