A resolution designating February 27, 2025, as "Rare Disease Day".

Designates February 27, 2025, as "Rare Disease Day" to spotlight the needs of people with rare conditions. It defines a rare disease as affecting fewer than 200,000 people and notes more than 30 million Americans live with over 10,000 rare diseases. Children make up a large share of those affected and many conditions are serious or life threatening. The resolution highlights the Orphan Drug Act's 42nd anniversary, notes FDA and NIH efforts and approval trends, and calls for better awareness, earlier diagnosis, and stronger support for research and treatments.
