Nordic Rare Disease Summit 2023: Report published

At the second Nordic Rare Disease Summit that took place on April 17, 2023, the main theme was "Rare diseases – setting the scene for change". A total of 663 registered participants from 33 countries gathered to discuss three key focus areas: Early Diagnosis, Patient Empowerment and Access to Innovation. The two main insights from the summit were the announcement that Sweden now will commence work with a first national strategy for rare diseases and that there is a strong commitment across the Nordics to collaborate to find solutions to the three key focus areas."

A notable recommendation from this year's summit was for the development of an updated Nordic Roadmap for Rare Diseases, with measurable recommendations. This will be a forward-looking roadmap, taking into account all dialogues, and possibly agreed upon by the end of 2023 by all ten participating partners of this year's Nordic Rare Disease Summit.
