China’s institutional innovation, growing public engagement ensure dignity, inclusion for people affected by rare diseases

From rare to remarkable

By Shan Jie

In China, the rare disease community is gradually emerging from the "silent margins" and entering the public eye. In the past, these individuals were often associated with words like "loneliness" and "fate." Today, however, their stories are being woven into the country's institutional advancements, technological innovations, and growing social awareness.

Backed by national policies, supported by collective social efforts, and driven by their individual resilience, every "rare life" is no longer a passive recipient of circumstances, but rather an active participant and witness to social change.
