Fashion show spotlights rare disease community

A charity fashion show was held in Yantai, Shandong province, on Saturday to mark International Rare Disease Day and launch a new support network for affected families. The event brought together nearly 300 patients with rare diseases, medical experts, business representatives and volunteers.

Through diverse and creative formats such as a fashion show, patient talk shows, a photography exhibition showcasing patients' lives, seminars, and hospital's free clinics, the event sought to break down public barriers to understanding rare diseases. It created a space of empathy, respect, and support for the rare disease community in Yantai and beyond.
