In Vietnam, about 100 rare diseases have been recorded with more than 6 million people infected. Access to treatment is still challenging due to high drug prices and limited resources. Of which, nearly 50 rare skin-related diseases are classified, posing an urgent need for research and awareness raising in the health sector.
