28 February 2026 – World Rare Disease Day

300 million people worldwide live with one of the 6,000+ rare diseases.

A condition is considered “rare” when it affects fewer than 1 in 2,000 people.
But for those who live with it, it is not rare at all. It is their everyday life.

Cystic Fibrosis is a rare, inherited disease that mainly affects the lungs and digestive system and requires daily treatments, specialized monitoring and constant care.

Today we recall the importance of early diagnosis, equal access to care and treatments, support for research and social solidarity.

We stand by every person and every family that is fighting their own daily struggle.

For equal opportunities in health.
For an inclusive society.
For Unlimited Breath.
