Our vision is a world where everyone affected by a rare condition feels connected, empowered, and supported
Driving progress through shared knowledge, inclusive research, and a thriving network
Why do we need rare advocacy?
It’s estimated that 1 in 17 people will develop a rare condition at some point in their lifetime – that’s around 3.5 million in the UK alone, and over 350 million worldwide.
The journey with a rare or undiagnosed condition is complex, uncertain and isolating, with only 5% having an approved treatment. People frequently experience delayed diagnosis, fragmented care, and difficulty accessing appropriate support.
What does CamRARE do?
We centre people with rare conditions at the heart of everything we do.
CamRARE works to connect individuals, healthcare professional, researchers, industry and policy makers to turn collaboration into action and improve the lives of people affected by rare conditions.
