#1in15 South Africans are affected by rare diseases
That's the equivalent of 1 player in every rugby team!
Whilst uniquely they may be rare, with more than 7000 known rare diseases, collectively they are more common than anticipated.
At Rare Diseases South Africa, we’re doing our best to support those 4.1 million South Africans who have been, or will be, diagnosed with a rare disease or congenital disorder in their lifetime.
Our mission is to ensure a better tomorrow for all those impacted.
