In observance of 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸, it is important to highlight the strong connection between 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 and 𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀.

A 𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 is a condition that affects a small percentage of the population. In many countries, including the Philippines, a disease is considered rare if it affects a limited number of individuals compared to the general population. While each rare disease affects only a few people, collectively they impact millions worldwide.

🧬 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀

Approximately 70–80% of rare diseases are genetic in origin. This means they are caused by changes or mutations in a person’s DNA. These genetic changes may be:

◼️ Inherited from one or both parents
◼️ Spontaneous (new mutations) that occur for the first time in an individual
◼️ Linked to specific chromosomes or genes

Because genes control how the body grows, develops, and functions, even a small mutation can lead to significant health conditions.

🧪 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀

1. 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀
Genetic testing can help identify rare diseases accurately, especially when symptoms are unclear or overlap with other conditions.

2. 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁
Understanding the genetic cause allows healthcare providers to develop targeted or precision-based treatments.

3. 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴
Genetic counseling helps families understand the risk of passing a condition to future generations.

4. 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀
Studying genetics contributes to medical research, improved therapies, and greater awareness of rare conditions.

In celebration of International Childhood Cancer Day last February 15, the BGHMC Cancer Center Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Unit filled the day with colors, creativity, and courage. 🎨💛

Through art activities, our young warriors were given a space to express their stories, dreams, and strength beyond their diagnosis. Each artwork reflects not only talent, but hope, resilience, and the unwavering spirit of a child.

Today and every day, we stand with children fighting cancer and their families, celebrating bravery, inspiring hope, and reminding them that they are never alone. 💛

𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞 | The BGHMC Hemodialysis Unit recently held a meaningful Thanksgiving Party for its patients and their families, in partnership with the Baguio Dialysis Patient's Organization. The gathering served not only as a celebration but also as a testament to the strong sense of community built within the unit.

More than a simple social event, the activity provided patients, many of whom undergo regular and lifelong dialysis sessions, with an opportunity to momentarily step away from the clinical environment and share a space of gratitude, encouragement, and fellowship. Families, healthcare workers, and members of the patient organization came together to recognize the resilience of dialysis patients and the unwavering support systems behind them.
