“The symposium will highlight the current state of research on rare health conditions from various perspectives, including health economics and legal aspects, as well as the viewpoints of patients and families,” says Professor Jovanna Dahlgren, Head of the Department of Clinical Sciences at Sahlgrenska Academy (University of Gothenburg), and moderator of the symposium.
