Poland will spend over PLN 700 million (EUR 154.8 million) in 2021-2023 to cure rare diseases as a part of the Rare Disease Plan, the health minister has announced on Monday.
Currently, the Plan defines 40 specific tasks and deadlines for their implementation, worth over PLN 90 million (EUR 19.8 million). These are not all costs, because in the case of rare diseases, advanced drug therapies are of a great importance, and we will use the Medical Fund in this area,” Adam Niedzielski said at the press conference.
