The cycle of early detection and advanced therapies

2016 is a turning point for orphan drugs and for neonatal screenings. In Europe the benefit of orphan drug designation is debated, whilst in Italy a scientific inclusive environment is pushing for the finalisation of the law extending neonatal screenings. Through deliberative debates, highlights of the newly updated kit-PlayDecide ORPHAN DRUGS, in regions where training and community-building are key to consolidating the cycle of early diagnosis and access to appropriate therapy: patients, caregivers, future parents, students, researchers, health professionals, industry, institutions and communication representatives, analyse these issues of great complexity and high impact on the quality of life together .
