Rare Disease Day 2022
Rare Disease Day takes place on the last day of February each year. This is a global initiative to raise awareness and generate change around rare diseases and their impact on patients' and families' lives. The UAE Rare Disease Society is proud to be partnering with Expo 2020 Dubai to help bring more attention to Rare Diseases by organising this memorable event.
This special day kicks off with a speech from H.E. Sheikh Nahayan Bin Mubarark Al Nahayan, Minister of Tolerance and Commissioner General of Expo 2020 Dubai, continuing with entertainment from MCs Dina Butti and Saoud Alkaabi, as well as music from Zeina Aftimos and her band. The UAE Rare Disease Society's mascots, Mayed and Meera, are joined on stage by a special guest to perform a kids' medley of music, and the programme ends with a parade led by the Dubai Police Marching Orchestra and Expo Mascots.
