“You Are Not Alone” has been IORD’s unequivocal slogan for the last 15 years. Our objective is to reach all households in India with rare disease patients.
With a slogan of ‘Each One, Identify Ten’, IORD strives for their rights with either advocacy or treatment facilitation & help them lead a dignified life with one or more of the following advantages:
Being an active member in various international forums on Rare Diseases including NGO Committee for Rare Diseases at UN, Rare Diseases International, International Rare Disease Research Consortium (IRDiRC), Asia Pacific Alliance of Rare Disease Organizations (APARDO), EURORDIS of EU make us globally networked.
The learnings we have gained to address RD patient issues and the new ideas we bring on the table can help you grow your resources and network with other like-minded organisations.
We provide guidance and support to patients’ organizations and help them grow from inception to various stages of their development with our leadership. IORD invites interested NGOs / Patients’ Organisations in partnering with us.
If you are an expert, you can work for the change you want to see as your one step can make a big difference to the life of a patient, if not for everyone.
Wrong Rare Disease diagnosis in the first physician visit stands abysmally high at 40%, while the average time it takes from a symptom to a proper diagnosis stands at 4.8 years as per an Orphanet Survey in EU.
We invite experts – be it a medical expert, researcher or a counsellor – to lend a helping hand with I-ORD and make a positive difference in the lives of Rare Disease Patients by improving the quality of life for these patients.
