Senator Kean s legislation, (
S-2682) was approved Tuesday by the Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee and would, upon further approval, ensure that anyone suffering from unusual conditions receive suitable care by establishing the New Jersey Rare Disease Advisory Council.
“The ongoing pandemic makes it more vital than ever to help those who are impacted by rare illnesses that are often difficult to diagnose and treat,” Senator Kean (R-21) said in a statement. “Genetic mutations are responsible for causing many of these ailments that can be passed down through generations, often resulting in suppressed immune systems or respiratory problems for patients. This makes them especially vulnerable to COVID and its life-threatening effects.”
