CDG patient empowerment

“Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be. But what will happen in all the other days that ever come can depend on what you do today.” ― Ernest Hemingway

Empowerment

Empowered CDG and rare disease patients are a driving force behind the development of translational research and therapies.

The Portuguese Association for CDG aims at supporting and empowering patients and families to play an active role in shaping national and international health care provision that is appropriate to their needs. To achieve this goal, the APCDG:
  • Develops, gathers, shares and disseminates information on CDG and rare diseases in linguistically and culturally appropriate formats.
  • Promotes international cooperation in the field of services to patients and families
