The National Policy for Rare Diseases, 2021 was notified on the 31st of March 2021.
The policy comes over three years after the health ministry formulated a National Policy for Treatment of Rare Diseases in July 2017 but kept it in abeyance.
India plans to create a national registry for a database on rare diseases, classify known rare diseases in three groups.
In the new policy, ‘rare diseases’ have not been defined but classified into three groups based on expert opinion.
