No sick should feel forgotten-Mattarella

(ANSA) - Rome, February 28 - President Sergio Mattarella said Tuesday that all sick people should feel they have support as he gave a speech to mark world rare disease day. "No ill people anywhere should feel invisible or forgotten, especially in our republic," Mattarella said. "A society's civilization is measured by how it addresses the problems of those who are most fragile and this is its true strength too. Patients with rare diseases are more vulnerable than others".
