Become a Parliamentary Advocate for Rare Diseases
The network of Parliamentary Advocates for Rare Diseases is a dynamic all-party group of Members of the European Parliament and national parliamentarians who advocate for the rights of people living with a rare disease. The secretariat of the network is provided by EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe, a unique, non-profit alliance of 1000 rare disease patient organisations from 74 countries.
Objectives of the network

Ensure rare diseases are high on European and national agendas, including in health, research, social affairs and other relevant policies
-
Drive the adoption of person-centred legislations, policies and budgets to make a tangible difference to the lives of people with rare diseases
-
Hold the European Commission and national governments accountable for their commitments to leave no one with a rare disease behind
