At the beginning of July, the EMRaDi project partners sent information letters to 7520 general practitioners and other resident doctors in the Euregio Meuse-Rhine to help them to identify more easily among their patients cases of rare diseases and support them in their care.
The GPs received information factsheets for them and for the rare disease patients they could accompany as well as a banner pen with 8 key questions to ask themselves when dealing with a patient suspected of suffering from a rare disease.
