In a recent poll, we asked patients, care partners and advocates about the most challenging aspect of living with a rare condition. While 47% of respondents expressed concerns about the future, 26% cited a lack of awareness among healthcare professionals (HCPs).

These findings are consistent with responses to the "Rare Minds Matter - Mental Health Survey 2023" conducted by Rareminds, one of Parexel's 2024 Corporate Patient Advocacy Partners:

◼️Respondents highlighted that dealing with rare conditions goes beyond managing physical symptoms; it also affects personal identity, self-esteem, family and social relationships, work and finances.

◼️Worrying about the future (63%) and lack of awareness among HCPs (44%) were among the top challenges identified.

Rareminds has recently introduced a Wellbeing Hub, developed in collaboration with their clinical team and individuals with firsthand experience of rare conditions. This Hub features valuable links and resources to assist individuals in navigating various aspects of the rare disease journey, from managing relationships and healthcare navigation to crisis support and patient advocacy.
