“Living with a rare disease means facing daily challenges that are often invisible to others... Yet, despite everything it is also a journey of incredible strength, resilience and fight for a better quality of life.” -Zdenka Bradac, President of PHAEUROPE
“Living with a rare disease means facing daily challenges that are often invisible to others... Yet, despite everything it is also a journey of incredible strength, resilience and fight for a better quality of life.” This week we want to invite all who live with a #raredisease to share their experiences. Here is what members of our patient advisory groups had to say. 💬 What does living with a rare disease mean to you? Share your thoughts in the comments! Together, we can drive change.

🔎Did you know that pulmonary hypertension (PH) is often linked to other rare diseases like scleroderma, HHT, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, sickle cell disease, and lupus? These connections create complex medical challenges, making early diagnosis and specialized care essential. PH can also be associated with congenital heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), HIV infection, and more, showcasing its diverse range of connections. This #RareDiseaseDay, we join the global movement to raise awareness and advocate for better resources, research, and policies for PH and rare disease patients. This year’s theme, 'More Than You Can Imagine,' highlights the vast impact of rare diseases and the urgent need for action. More than anything, it also signifies the resolve of all rare disease patients to triumph over their conditions and remain champions of life. ✨Recent breakthroughs, including the approval of Merck’s Winrevair (sotatercept), are bringing new hope to PAH patients by improving outcomes and reducing mortality. This is why ongoing innovation and advocacy matter! 💪💙💜 💚 ➡Discover how PHAEUROPE is making a difference for pulmonary hypertension patients: www.phaeurope.org #PulmonaryHypertension #RareDiseaseDay #PHAwareness #EarlyDiagnosisMatters #PAH #raredisease #patientassociation #CTEPH #patientrights #accesstocare #awareness #PHAEurope #lunghealth #pulmonaryhypertension #scleroderma #lupus Hipertensión Pulmonar Argentina PH Belgium - Pulmonale Hypertensie vzw Hipertensión Pulmonar España ORG Pacientes Fundación Contra la Hipertensión Pulmonar Asociación Nacional de Hipertensión Pulmonar ANHP Stichting Pulmonale Hypertensie / PH Association the Netherlands PH Serbia AIPI Italian Pulmonary Hypertension Association Fundación Ayúdanos a Respirar Sociedad Latina de Hipertensión Pulmonar HAPCHI Asociacion Chilena de Hipertension Pulmonar Pulmonary Hypertension Association of South Africa Rare Disease Day EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe

There are approximately 35,000 people living with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in Europe. As a rare cardiopulmonary disease, PAH requires treatment in expert centers to ensure optimal care. In recent years, novel therapies have not only improved patients' quality of life and symptoms but have also contributed to reducing morbidity and mortality. Despite these advancements, PH patients collectively lose 75,700 healthy years due to their diagnosis. Even with significant breakthroughs in PAH treatment, patients continue to face additional health-related burdens, such as unemployment and limited daily functionality without caregiver support. On Rare Disease Day, we highlight the urgent need for greater awareness, early diagnosis, and equitable access to specialized care. PAH is one of over 6,000 rare diseases, and like many others, it is often misdiagnosed or diagnosed late—delaying life-saving treatment. Strengthening policies for rare disease patients can transform lives, ensuring that those living with PAH receive the care and support they deserve. 💙💜 💚 ➡Discover how PHAEUROPE is making a difference for pulmonary hypertension patients: www.phaeurope.org #PulmonaryHypertension #RareDiseaseDay #PHAwareness #EarlyDiagnosisMatters #PAH #raredisease #patientassociation #CTEPH #patientrights #accesstocare #awareness #PHAEurope #lunghealth #pulmonaryhypertension Hipertensión Pulmonar Argentina PH Belgium - Pulmonale Hypertensie vzw Hipertensión Pulmonar España ORG Pacientes Fundación Contra la Hipertensión Pulmonar Asociación Nacional de Hipertensión Pulmonar ANHP Stichting Pulmonale Hypertensie / PH Association the Netherlands PH Serbia AIPI Italian Pulmonary Hypertension Association Fundación Ayúdanos a Respirar Sociedad Latina de Hipertensión Pulmonar HAPCHI Asociacion Chilena de Hipertension Pulmonar Pulmonary Hypertension Association of South Africa Rare Disease Day EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) comes in different forms – and there are 5 WHO Groups of PH, but three groups stand out as both rare and highly complex: 🔹 Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) – Progressive narrowing of pulmonary arteries, often linked to genetics or autoimmune diseases. Despite advanced therapies, it remains incurable. 🔹 PH Due to Pulmonary Artery Obstruction – Includes CTEPH, which can be treated with surgery (PEA) or balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA), making it the only potentially reversible PH type. 🔹 PH with Unclear & Multifactorial Mechanisms – A mix of conditions (blood disorders, sarcoidosis, metabolic diseases) where PH develops in complex ways, often with no approved targeted treatment. 💡 Understanding these forms is key to better diagnosis, treatment, and patient outcomes. Let’s raise awareness! 💙💜 💚 ➡Discover how PHAEUROPE is making a difference for pulmonary hypertension patients: www.phaeurope.org #PulmonaryHypertension #RareDiseaseDay #PHAwareness #EarlyDiagnosisMatters #PAH #raredisease #patientassociation #CTEPH #patientrights #accesstocare #awareness #PHAEurope #lunghealth #pulmonaryhypertension Hipertensión Pulmonar Argentina PH Belgium - Pulmonale Hypertensie vzw Hipertensión Pulmonar España ORG Pacientes Fundación Contra la Hipertensión Pulmonar Asociación Nacional de Hipertensión Pulmonar ANHP Stichting Pulmonale Hypertensie / PH Association the Netherlands PH Serbia AIPI Italian Pulmonary Hypertension Association Fundación Ayúdanos a Respirar Sociedad Latina de Hipertensión Pulmonar HAPCHI Asociacion Chilena de Hipertension Pulmonar Pulmonary Hypertension Association of South Africa Rare Disease Day EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe

🌟With our 2025 campaign “Without You, There Would Be No Us,” we give a platform to patients to thank special people who have made their life with PH brighter through their support and unwavering commitment! In January, we started sharing stories of patients and their caregivers. We are pleased to share another uplifting story honoring a dedicated caregiver. 👥This is the special story of Vera and her husband and caregiver, Samir: Vera was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) in October 2013, a moment that changed her life forever. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, where access to PH treatment is extremely limited, every day became a battle—not just against the disease but also against the harsh reality of living without the medications she needed. This diagnosis was a shock for Vera and her entire family, her husband Samir and daughters Vedrana and Sabina. "All these years, the three of them have been a great support to me during my PH journey, and all three deserve my gratitude. However, without my husband, I would not be here." As she says, through every struggle, Samir has been her rock. “Samir is my right hand, my breath when breathing is hard, my strength when I feel weak. He takes care of the daily tasks that PH has made difficult for me and never lets me feel alone in this fight. When I can’t, he can—whether it’s helping me move around the house, ensuring I rest when I need to, or simply reminding me that I am not facing this battle alone. Without proper treatment, life with PH can feel impossible. But Samir makes it possible. He fights for me, for us, and for better conditions for all PH patients in our country. His care, patience, and love give me the strength to keep going, even on the hardest days. I cannot imagine this journey without him. He is my greatest support, my greatest gift. There are no words to fully express my gratitude and respect for the man of my life. The only thing I can do is cherish him every day, grateful for the greatest gift life has given me—my Samir. I love him! Without him, there would be no me.”💙 #WithoutYouThereWouldBeNoUs #Gratitude #PatientStories #PHAEurope #pulmonaryhypertension #awareness #PatientEmpowerment #PAH Hipertensión Pulmonar Argentina PH Belgium - Pulmonale Hypertensie vzw Hipertensión Pulmonar España ORG Pacientes Fundación Contra la Hipertensión Pulmonar Asociación Nacional de Hipertensión Pulmonar ANHP Stichting Pulmonale Hypertensie / PH Association the Netherlands PH Serbia AIPI Italian Pulmonary Hypertension Association Fundación Ayúdanos a Respirar Sociedad Latina de Hipertensión Pulmonar HAPCHI Asociacion Chilena de Hipertension Pulmonar Pulmonary Hypertension Association of South Africa

𝗥𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲. Behind every color, every number, and every percentage you see here, there is a human story—a story of resilience in the face of a rare disease, where uncertainty is a constant reality. With over 7,000 rare diseases, most still have no available treatment, and many potential therapies remain in research and clinical trials, with access often limited.💪 People living with rare diseases are pioneers of the human spirit—bold, resilient, and courageous. They navigate a world where answers are scarce, access to care is uncertain, and every day is a battle against the unknown. And for many, this journey began at birth, as 80% of rare diseases are genetic. Diagnosis remains a challenge for most of these conditions, and when treatment is available, it is often extremely costly. Yet, with every step they take, they redefine the meaning of strength. Their struggles and triumphs deserve to be seen, heard, and recognized. You may not fully grasp what they endure, but you can stand with them. Your support is everything they have ever hoped for.💙💜 💚 ➡Discover how PHAEUROPE is making a difference for pulmonary hypertension patients: www.phaeurope.org #pulmonaryhypertension #RareDiseaseDay #PHAwareness #EarlyDiagnosisMatters #PAH #raredisease #patientassociation #PHAEurope #patientempowerment #CTEPH Hipertensión Pulmonar Argentina PH Belgium - Pulmonale Hypertensie vzw Hipertensión Pulmonar España ORG Pacientes Fundación Contra la Hipertensión Pulmonar Asociación Nacional de Hipertensión Pulmonar ANHP Stichting Pulmonale Hypertensie / PH Association the Netherlands PH Serbia AIPI Italian Pulmonary Hypertension Association Fundación Ayúdanos a Respirar Sociedad Latina de Hipertensión Pulmonar HAPCHI Asociacion Chilena de Hipertension Pulmonar Pulmonary Hypertension Association of South Africa Rare Disease Day EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe

Rare diseases affect approximately 5% of the world’s population, with more than 300 million people facing the challenges of being diagnosed with one of the 7,000 recognized rare diseases. Among them is pulmonary hypertension (PH), with three out of its five groups classified as rare based on prevalence: 🔹 Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) – 15 to 50 cases per million 🔹 PH associated with pulmonary artery obstruction 🔹 PH with unclear and/or multifactorial mechanisms Among these, PAH remains the most challenging, given its complex and severe clinical presentation and prognosis. While there is no cure for PH, advancements in research and therapy have led to better management, improved quality of life, and extended survival for patients. These numbers and percentages are more significant than you can imagine because behind them are human lives, personal stories of struggle, success, setbacks, and resilience. Each statistic represents a real person facing the challenges of a rare disease. 💙💜 💚 ➡Discover the change PHAEUROPE is making for pulmonary hypertension patients. www.phaeurope.org #PulmonaryHypertension #RareDiseaseDay #PHAwareness #EarlyDiagnosisMatters #PAH #raredisease #patientassociation #PHAEurope Hipertensión Pulmonar Argentina PH Belgium - Pulmonale Hypertensie vzw Hipertensión Pulmonar España ORG Pacientes Fundación Contra la Hipertensión Pulmonar Asociación Nacional de Hipertensión Pulmonar ANHP Stichting Pulmonale Hypertensie / PH Association the Netherlands PH Serbia AIPI Italian Pulmonary Hypertension Association Fundación Ayúdanos a Respirar Sociedad Latina de Hipertensión Pulmonar HAPCHI Asociacion Chilena de Hipertension Pulmonar Pulmonary Hypertension Association of South Africa Rare Disease Day EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe
