SUMMARY:Rare Diseases International-Innovative Models Reshaping Access to Diagnosis\, Treatment and Care - Practical examples and global case studies
DESCRIPTION:Scientific and medical advances in rare diseases continue to accelerate — but equitable access to diagnosis\, treatment\, and care remains out of reach for millions of people living with a rare disease. \nThis webinar offers a practical look at how innovative financing models can help close these gaps. The session will explore a range of financing mechanisms\, including venture philanthropy\, blended finance\, public-private partnerships\, solidarity funds\, and outcome-based models. Through real-world examples\, participants will gain insight into what makes these approaches work\, the conditions needed for success\, and how models can be adapted or combined across different health systems.

SUMMARY:CORD Webinar: Building the Baseline: How Does Canada Measure Up in Terms of Rare Disease Readiness?
DESCRIPTION:Join CORD for an interactive 60-minute indicator lab exploring how Canada can measure progress in rare disease readiness. Together\, experts and participants will examine and rate key policy and delivery indicators to identify what matters most\, where data gaps exist\, and what a national readiness baseline could look like. This session focuses on building a Canada-wide picture of rare disease readiness\, not ranking provinces. Participants will help identify promising examples and shared opportunities for improvement as CORD develops a national readiness indicator inventory.
