Rare Diseases in Underdeveloped Countries of West Africa. Are they Really Rare?

Abstract

Next February 28 will be celebrated once again the international day of rare diseases, it is my intention to expose the reasons why these diseases are forgotten, silenced and underdiagnosed in developing countries, with the consequent delay in diagnosis, cure or relief and co or consequence late incorporation into society to the extent of its possibilities and as unfortunately often occurs discrimination and stigmatization of patients.
