📢1st Rare Disease Congress – Rare Diseases for Pediatricians and Family Physicians📢
We cordially invite you to participate in the 1st Rare Disease Congress - Rare Diseases for Pediatricians and Family Physicians, which will take place on November 21–22, 2025, at the Mercure Hotel in Wroclaw.
This is not a motto that has been defined: There is no disease whose incidence is so rare that it does not require our special attention.
Rare diseases pose a challenge to modern medicine, the healthcare system, and society as a whole. Although they are indeed rare, patients with rare diseases are numerous – in Poland, they may affect over 2.5–3 million people.
To date, nearly 8,000 conditions have been described that meet the definition of a rare disease (one person in 2,000 inhabitants). These diseases have a variety of symptoms, a progressive course, and often a poor prognosis. They encompass every field of medicine, so every doctor, nurse, physiotherapist, therapist, or other medical specialist undoubtedly encounters them in their practice. Early diagnosis and initiation of appropriate treatment are crucial.
Rare diseases, like all chronic diseases, require comprehensive and coordinated care. However, in medicine, pediatricians and family medicine physicians are closest to the patient with a rare disease. Therefore, to address the need to systematize and deepen knowledge about rare diseases, we invite you to the two-day First Congress of Rare Diseases, is organized by the Polish Society of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology and the Polish Society of Congenital Metabolism, in cooperation with: the Polish Society of Human Genetics, the Polish Society of Pediatric Neurologists and the Polish Society of Family Medicine. The Congress will be a unique platform for exchanging knowledge, experiences, and the latest advancements in the field. The program includes thematic workshops and panel discussions. We believe that the opportunity for shared debate broadens diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives, building the potential and value of every physician.
This will also be an opportunity for our integration, which often creates new opportunities and opens doors in difficult clinical situations, improving the quality of life of patients suffering from rare diseases.
