The Princess Al-Jawhara Center, affiliate to the Arabian Gulf University in Manama, is hosting an international scientific workshop to discuss the mechanisms of preparing a national and Gulf registry for rare diseases, as well as a Gulf plan to deal with rare diseases using the aid of international expertise.

This workshop is the first of its kind in the Kingdom of Bahrain, bringing together international expertise in the fields of genomics, scientific research, public health, and patient rights advocacy. All will discuss ways to place rare diseases as a priority in the agenda of health care.

Through this workshop, we seek to develop policies to deal with rare diseases, providing better care for patients and their families, and promoting scientific research in the field of rare diseases."
She added that the workshop is working to establish a network of cooperation in the GCC countries, uniting academic researchers and expert doctors in this field to begin developing joint plans to deal with rare diseases.
The workshop will address many topics such as discussing rare diseases in the age of the genome, their impact on health care, EU strategies in the field of rare diseases, national plans to deal with rare diseases, record of rare diseases: the Italian and Romanian experience, best practices in the field of rare diseases and quality assurance standards for genetic testing, international cooperation in research of rare diseases, a glimpse of the global and national network of rare disease patients, medicine for the treatment of rare diseases, and pharmaceutical application technologies for the treatment of rare diseases.
