PatientsRare Disease Day 2025 - More Than You Can Imagine

Rare Disease Day (RDD) this year takes place on Friday 28 February 2025 - the rarest day of the year. RDD was launched in 2008 by EURORDIS and has since become a worldwide phenomenon, with patient organisations in over 100 countries around the world participating each year. The day aims to raise awareness of the importance of equity for the 300 million people living with rare diseases worldwide.

Every year, Kyowa Kirin comes together to mark the event by raising awareness of rare diseases, highlighting the unmet needs of those impacted, and sharing how we are relentlessly working to support the community throughout the year.

To celebrate RDD this year and throughout the month of February, Kyowa Kirin will once again engage in activities to support the rare disease community, both internally and externally. By showing our global support, we are proudly signaling our commitment and unity to those with under-diagnosed and under-served diseases.
For decades, we have been identifying innovative solutions for diseases that have high unmet medical need. By taking products ‘from Pipeline to Patients’, we aim to utilise our expertise to maximise the impact of our medicines and technologies across multiple disease areas.
Our President and CEO Miyamoto Masashi would like to share his message and reaffirm our commitment to supporting the rare disease community.
