Description

On this special episode of the Pharma Podcast, we're honouring Rare Disease Month this February by delving into the personal and profound stories from the front lines of rare diseases in Canada. Our focus is on the unique challenges, healthcare experiences, and the resilience required to navigate life with a rare condition. In celebration of this important month, I’m thrilled to have Dr. Sonia Rehal with us. Sonia is not only courageously living with a rare disease but also actively participating in raising awareness and advocating for better support and research for rare diseases in Canada.

Sonia's journey offers us a window into the day-to-day realities faced by individuals with rare diseases, from the quest for diagnosis to access to specialised care, and underscores the importance of community support. Her insights are invaluable in dispelling misconceptions about rare diseases and highlighting the ongoing efforts to improve the lives of those affected.

Join us as we explore Sonia's story, the broader landscape of rare diseases in Canada, and what hope and advancements lie on the horizon for patients and their families. 

Through this episode, we hope to convey a powerful message: while each rare disease may affect a small number of individuals, collectively, these conditions are not that rare at all.
