MENA Congress for Rare Diseases

MENA Congress for Rare Diseases MENA Congress for Rare Diseases was established to serve and support people with rare diseases. Join us in this mission!

We are an organization dedicated to improving the lives of people living with rare diseases in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. Our mission is three-fold:

Educate:
We raise awareness among the public and healthcare professionals about rare diseases, to facilitate earlier diagnoses and better care for patients. Connect:
We bring together patients, their families, and affected communities, to create a network of mutual support. Support:
We provide practical and emotional support to patients and their loved ones, helping them navigate the healthcare system and access treatments. Together, we work to ensure that people living with rare diseases in our region can thrive and receive the best possible care.

Today, on Rare Disease Day, we stand in solidarity with the 300+ million people worldwide living with a rare disease, many of them across the Middle East and North Africa.

At the MENA Organization for Rare Diseases, we are committed to raising awareness, supporting patients and families, advancing research, and advocating for equitable access to diagnosis, treatment, and care.

Letโ€™s unite to shine a light on rare diseases, because rare is many, and together we are stronger.

Can Art and Awareness Transform Life with Epidermolysis Bullosa?

In the last week of October 2025, we had a discussion with Ms. Hanaa El Sadat โ€” Founder and Chairperson of Yasmin El Samra Foundation (DEBRA Egypt), an organization dedicated since 2014 to raising awareness and supporting people living with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) in Egypt and the Arab world.

In this heartfelt conversation, Hanaa shared her journey with her daughter Yasmin, who turned her pain into color and creativity. She spoke about the daily challenges of EB patients, the vital role of families, the importance of training healthcare providers, and how art can heal both body and spirit.

As Hanaa says:

โ€œMy message is that every person with EB deserves to live a life of discovery and hope, in a safe and caring environment.โ€
