Rare Diseases in Southeast Asia: Definition of Rare disease
https://www.researchhub.com/post/4132/rare-diseases-in-southeast-asia-definition-of-rare-disease/reviews
In 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO), in collaboration with Rare Diseases International (RDI), defined rare diseases as medical conditions affecting fewer than or equal to 1 in 2,000 persons (0.5‰ or 0.5 per 1,000) in any WHO-defined region.
Regional definitions vary, reflecting population sizes, healthcare systems, and policy priorities. This report, the first in the Southeast Asia Rare Disease Research Series, compares rare disease definitions in Japan, Korea, India, China, Malaysia, Taiwan and Hong Kong, alongside the United States and European Union for global context.
