About IMPS :
I M POSSIBLE & SMAART ( IMPS ) is a Non-Profit Initiative that focuses on awareness and prevention of rare diseases. We also raise funds to support unfortunate children who are living with these rare conditions and lacking access to expensive life-saving cures. Website: i-m-possible-and-smaart.com/
As a part of our humble, non-profit initiative we have launched this podcast series called "HEROES OF INCLUSION”. The aim is to share narratives on the need for INCLUSION in our society and the kind of brilliant work people are doing across the world.
LESSER KNOWN FACTS:
*There are 7000 known rare diseases in the world.
*Only 5% of them have a known line of medical treatments which are astronomically priced.
*In India, these treatments are unsupported by Insurance or by the Government.
*The only way to access these treatments which run into lacs and crores is through medical crowdfunding.
*The success rate of medical crowdfunding in India for rare disease treatments is less than 2%.
* A simple way to prevent rare diseases is to undertake a genetic screening test well before conceiving a child.
