We’re excited to share a milestone in the Principles of Care (PoC) for CIDP initiative — the first follow-up interview has officially taken place.

Building on insights from the 2025 workshops, these interviews are an important next step in capturing deeper perspectives from patient advocates and healthcare professionals to help shape a more patient-centered framework for CIDP care.

Every conversation helps move us closer to defining what quality, coordinated care should look like for people living with CIDP.

Rare Disease Day reminds us that behind every diagnosis is a person, a family, and a story of strength. GBS, CIDP, and MMN may be rare — but our community is powerful.

From the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Argentina,and Guatemala, our volunteers and patient advocates are leading with courage—raising awareness, supporting newly diagnosed patients, and building connection where it’s needed most.

Because when a condition is rare, community matters even more.
