Fight against disease

RARE DISEASE DAY

With a low prevalence, rare diseases affect six to eight percent of the population worldwide and therefore represent a global public health concern.

To raise awareness among policymakers and the public about rare diseases and their impact on patients’ lives, Rare Disease Day® takes place worldwide, typically on or near the last day of February each year.

We at VCLS are fully aware of the challenges of therapeutic development of rare diseases and are always devoted to accelerating orphan drug development and making it accessible for patients.

MEDICAL RUN

The MedicalRun is the first solidarity running race, solely dedicated to health professionals, organized by and for the benefit of the CAMI Sport & Cancer association.

This race brings together all people in the medical sector: doctors, pharmacists, physiotherapists, osteopaths, employees of the medical industry, paramedical professionals as well as health students, to support CAMI.

VCLS has been participating in this event for several consecutive years..
