A.P. to strengthen care for rare disease patients, says Health Minister

The Andhra Pradesh government announced plans to enhance care for patients with rare diseases by establishing a Centre of Excellence in Vijayawada and referral centres in three regions. This initiative aligns with the National Policy for Rare Diseases, aiming to improve healthcare access and early diagnosis through universal neonatal screening. The move is significant as it addresses a critical healthcare gap and promotes better management of rare diseases in the state.
