The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare is discussing adding more Centres of Excellence (CoEs) to its network of centres to improve access to diagnosis and treatment for patients suffering from rare diseases.
"The ministry is exploring options to add at least two to three such centres in the coming year," an official in the know told Business Standard.
CoEs are institutions identified by the central government under the National Policy for Rare Diseases (NPRD), 2021, to treat patients suffering from rare diseases actively. There are 12 such centres with a quota of 2,420 rare disease patients from six categories across three groups.
