#RaiseForRare is a campaign that shows support for children with rare disease, through raising awareness of rare disease and raising funds for the RDF.
Rare disease affects around 2000 people in Singapore, with 700 of them being children. Symptoms begin in infancy and childhood, and some individuals require long-term medication to survive. Medication is costly and it can go up to $200,000 per year. Families need to bear this financial burden for life.
The Rare Disease Fund (RDF) is a charity fund that seeks to provide long-term financial support for patients with rare disease requiring treatment with high-cost medication. It is managed by the KKH Health Fund (part of SingHealth Fund) and supported by the Ministry of Health.
For every dollar of public donation, the Government will match $3, boosting the impact of the fund.
With everyone’s generous support, there is hope for every patient with a rare disease. Let’s take action today and #RaiseforRare!
