Ukraine maintains treatment for patients with rare diseases amid war

As the war continues, Ukraine has maintained the supply of medicines for patients with rare, or orphan, diseases, covering about 80% of those with serious conditions who remain in the country and continue to receive treatment.

Tetiana Kulesha, head of the NGO Orphan Diseases of Ukraine, made the statement during a briefing at Media Center Ukraine.
