Hospital Roosevelt marked World Day for Difficult-to-Diagnose Diseases with an event focused on raising awareness about the challenges faced by patients and families living with rare or complex medical conditions. The commemoration brought together hospital authorities, specialists from the Clinic for Difficult-to-Diagnose Diseases and Prophylaxis, patients, relatives, and special guests.
During the event, participants highlighted the importance of research and multidisciplinary collaboration to improve diagnostic accuracy and timeliness. Dr. María Antonieta Sandoval, a pediatric geneticist at Hospital Roosevelt, stated: “Each patient is unique and deserves personalized care. That is why our commitment is to continue researching and working as a team to provide them with the treatment they truly need.”
A key moment came when the Executive Director of Hospital Roosevelt announced that the clinic had evolved into a dedicated Unit for Difficult-to-Diagnose Diseases. The director said: “The effort, dedication, and constant struggle of the doctors who make up this clinic have motivated us to strengthen comprehensive care for our patients. Therefore, today I am proud to announce that we have completed all necessary procedures and that Hospital Roosevelt officially has a Unit.”
In addition to reflecting on early diagnosis and medical support, attendees took part in recreational activities including a children’s show, face painting, and refreshments.
Hospital Roosevelt reaffirmed its commitment to supporting people affected by difficult-to-diagnose diseases by promoting access to specialized and humane medical care.
