BULGARIAN NATIONAL PLAN FOR RARE DISEASES 2009 2013 Associate professor Alexey Savov PhD National Consulting Council for Rare Diseases (NCCRD)
Strategy for rare diseases in Bulgaria Project of National Program for Rare Diseases 2007 2011 November 2006 March 2008 the Healthcar re Committee at the Bulgarian National Assembly started discussion on issues concerning prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of people with rare diseases in Bulgaria September 2008 Mr. E. Zhelev, Minister of Health, has approved the National Programme for Rare Diseases (2009 2013)
National program for rare diseases 2009 2013 (genetic, birth defects and non inherited diseases) To create an adequate institutional framework and mechanisms, ensuring timely prevention, diagnosis, optimal treatment and rehabilitation of patients with rare diseases (genetic, birth defects and non inherited diseases) in Bulgaria. Patient associations Awareness Integrationn Research Medical training Neonatal screening Genetic services Epidemiological surveillance EU collaboration Budget: 11.3 M???
Program Activities 1. Establishment of a National Consulting Council for Rare Diseases (NCCRD) within the Ministry of Health
Program Activities 2. Establishment of expert panels for rare diseases working with the national consultants The main task is to propose to NCCRD a list of actual for Bulgaria rare dis seases within the scope of their corresponding medical specialty. Status still working on!!!
Program Activities 3. Establishment of a national network of information reference centres for rare diseases
Program Activities 4. Establishment of a national register of patients with rare diseases Status still working on!!!
