On February 29, 2024, Rare Disease Day, people across the world who are impacted by rare health conditions, or who are connected with the rare health community, were invited to contribute a personal video or audio recording and be part of a unique, collective film.

The resulting 14 minute film, ‘A Day of Rare Conditions’, connects together a diversity of rare and special voices, people, places and moments recorded and shared from Brazil, China, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Italy, the Philippines, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, UK and USA.
