Since IPOPI became a member organisation of Rare Diseases International (RDI) earlier this year, Johan Prevot IPOPI’s Executive Director has now joined the Pre-Formation Group, responsible for steering RDI forward until an elected Board of Directors is functional.

IPOPI recognizes the importance of fostering patient-centered rare diseases policies in all world regions to improve access to diagnosis and care for all people living with RD including primary immunodeficiencies.
