Rare diseases & Covid-19: How Changemakers United helped advance Dorica Dan’s solution
Dorica is revolutionising the field of care for rare disease patients. She does this by transitioning from a rigid system to a collaborative approach using a flat leadership model and creating new roles to navigate it. She is building a world in which all rare disease patients have equal and free access to diagnostic care and are provided a tailored set of integrated services and therapies to increase their quality of life.
Ashoka insight
It is Dorica’s vision to integrate her platform into Romania’s national health care system. This would allow the online services to be financed through public health care and increase access for people in need. A team of legal experts of the Changemakers United initiative recently began researching European policy best practices regarding telemedicine to support Dorica in advocating for similar legal changes in Romania. This would be a breakthrough for her impact!
