Ahead of Rare Disease Day, the Health Ministry announced that the national screening programme for congenital rare diseases will be expanded to cover additional four conditions.

The ministry will set aside EUR 2 million for this, Health Minister Janez Poklukar said. The programme will now include screenings for 40 diseases, up from 20, a figure that was set in 2018.
