What Are the Challenges in Treating Rare Conditions?
The treatment of rare conditions is often complicated by several factors:
Limited Research: Due to the small number of affected individuals, research funding and interest may be limited. Diagnostic Delays: Rare conditions are often misdiagnosed or undiagnosed for extended periods, delaying appropriate treatment. High Costs: The cost of developing and manufacturing treatments for rare conditions can be prohibitively high, often leading to expensive therapies. Regulatory Hurdles: Obtaining regulatory approval for new treatments can be challenging due to the limited data available.
