ERN BOND brings together all rare diseases, essentially congenital, chronic and of genetic origin, that affect cartilage, bones and dentine. This considerable group of diseases present a significant variation in clinical outcomes and limited research program are currently available to clarify their physio pathological bases.
The main ambition of ERN BOND is to implement measures that facilitate multidisciplinary, holistic, continuous, patient-centred and participative care provision to people living with rare bone diseases (RBDs), supporting them in the full realisation of their fundamental human rights. In particular, ERN BOND aims to ensure that people living with an RBD are afforded the same standards of care and support as the ones available to other citizens with similar requirements.
