7. Programme of Community action on rare
diseases within the framework for action in
the field of public health (1999 to 2003)
• Promote the development of, and access to, a coherent and
complementary European information network on rare diseases …
The availability of this information must be made as widely known as
possible, including via the Internet.
• Contribute to training and refresher courses for professionals in
order to improve early detection, recognition, intervention and prevention
in the field of rare diseases.
• Promote transnational collaboration and networking between groups
of persons directly or indirectly affected by the same rare conditions or
volunteers and professionals involved and coordination at Community
level in order to encourage continuity of work and trans-national
cooperation.
• Support at Community level the monitoring of rare diseases in the
Member States and early warning systems for clusters, and promote
the networking and training of experts concerned with the handling of
rare diseases and with rapid response to the phenomenon of clusters
8. Projects supported in the framework of the
Programme of Community Action on Rare
Disease (1999 – 2003) and the EU Public
Health programme 2003-2008
2003-
1. To strengthen collaboration at European level
among patient organisations
2. To increase the visibility and operational
capacity of organisations and networks active in
the field of rare diseases.
9. Second programme
of Community action in the field of health
(2008-
(2008-13)
• DG SANCO Work Plans for the implementation of the Public
Health Programme lines of action:
– exchange of information via existing European information
networks on rare diseases, and
– development of strategies and mechanisms for information
exchange and co-ordination at EU level to encourage continuity
of work and trans-national co-operation.
– Furthermore, regarding rare diseases projects, DG SANCO
prioritises generalist networks, which centralise information on
as many rare diseases as possible - not just a specific group or
a single disease - to improve information, monitoring and
surveillance.

31. Projects supported in the framework of the
Programme of Community Action on Rare
Disease (1999 – 2003) and the EU Public
Health programme 2003-2008
2003-
The EU has supported EURORDIS projects to gather
the information required to help define a public policy
on rare diseases, to improve access to quality
information on rare diseases and orphan drugs, to
organise workshops at European and national level, as
well as to produce guidelines and pedagogical
documents.
32. Projects supported in the framework of the
Programme of Community Action on Rare
Disease (1999 – 2003) and the EU Public Health
programme 2003-2008
2003-
• Network of Public Health Institutions on Rare Diseases
(NEPHIRD)
The project aimed at discussing and analysing the epidemiological
data collection for RD in participating countries in order to identify
and suggest possible approaches for estimating epidemiological
indices. It aimed also at analysing the state of the art with regard to
RDs focusing on health care services accessibility and quality for
RDs patients and undertaking a specific assessment of the quality
of life of RDs patients.
• The EU Surveillance of congenital anomalies in Europe project,
(EUROCAT) a European network of 51 registries in 28 countries
for the epidemiological surveillance of congenital anomalies.
• European educational programme on Rare Diseases
The project involved several public conferences with the aim of
improving communication and co-operation between people professionally
interested in rare diseases in Europe and offered education and training
opportunities to health professionals and others involved in the field of rare
diseases (scientists, doctors, nurses, patient support groups).

disease or a group of rare diseases have been selected,
spanning six EU countries. They will serve as pilot projects
for reference networks of Centres of expertise:
– European Centres of Expertise Network for Cushing
Syndrome
(Dr Susan Webb, University of San Pau, Barcelona)
– European Centres of Expertise Network for porphyria
(Prof. Jean-Charles Deybach, Paris)

36.
37. The RDTF recommendations
• the wording "centre of reference" is not used in the
future when referring to the nodes of a network to be
established.
The preferred wording is “centre of expertise
centre expertise”.
“Centres of expertise” exist everywhere,
whereas “centres of reference” are confined to a few
countries.
• ... Countries with established centres of reference
should be encouraged to share their experience and the
results of their outcome measures.
• the European Commission plays an important role in
supporting the identification of centres of expertise and
in the diffusion of the information about them.
