The EURO-WABB Project is a collaboration of doctors, scientists and patient support groups from all over Europe. Within the EU Health Programme 2008-2013 and its call for promoting health through the creation of new registers for rare diseases, EURO-WABB is supported by The EU Directorate General for Health and Consumers (DG-SANCO) via its Executive Agency for Health and Consumers. The overall aim is for this register to be a key instrument to increase knowledge on these rare diseases, improve the lives of affected people through better management, and to develop clinical research.
Projekt EURO-WABB seisneb kogu Euroopast pärit arstide, teadlaste ja patsientide toetusrühmade koostöös. EURO-WABBi toetab ELi 2008.–2013. aasta tervishoiuprogrammi raames ja seoses programmi nõudega edendada haruldaste haiguste jaoks uute registrite loomist ELi tervise- ja tarbijaküsimuste peadirektoraat (DG-SANCO), tehes seda oma Tervise- ja Tarbijaküsimuste Rakendusameti kaudu. Käesoleva registri üldeesmärk on olla keskseks vahendiks teadlikkuse tõstmisel nimetatud haruldastest haigustest, haigestunud inimeste elu parandamisel haiguste parema kontrolli kaudu, ja arendada kliinilisi teadusuuringuid.
