CureforU

A Project Inspired by Personal Experience of Parents

Facilitating Cure For Rare or Complex Diseases

We facilitate better cures for people living with a Rare or Complex Disease by enabling health care professionals to connect, collaborate and learn from each other.

Why We Care

We are a group of people who are linked in different ways due to these Rare Diseases. We want to capitalize on this energy, passion and value driven from personal life experiences to make meaningful difference in lives of people living with rare disease

This project is inspired by the personal experience of parents (originally from Pakistan but living in Belgium) where their son born with Anorectal malformations was medically treated very well by Prof Miserez (UZ Leuven Hospital). Parents in collaboration with Prof Miserez and APSP (association of pediatric surgeons of Pakistan) launched this initiative aiming to connect health care professionals to facilitate better diagnose and treatment outcomes for people living with Anorectal malformations and other rare disease.
