Expertise Center for Rare Disorders (ECZA)

Patients with a rare disorder can come to the LUMC for specialized care. A disorder is considered rare if fewer than 1 in 2,000 people in the Netherlands suffer from the disorder. To show just where patients with a rare disorder can be admitted, the VWS has designated expertise centers. These expertise centers must comply with strict conditions as they work together in a European context to improve knowledge sharing among nations.
