MANILA, Philippines - Rare diseases are medical conditions affecting one out of 20,000 individuals. Rare diseases are also known as “orphan disorders†because patients of these condition do not get the proper medical help, have a lack of understanding of the disorder itself, lack of medical practitioners and medical facilities to cure the disease and lastly, the cost of medication is high that most families could not afford the available treatment
Hosted by Angel Jacob, the tonight’s episode of Medtalk will discuss the different rare diseases prevalent in the country like Kawasaki disease, Pompe disease and Gauchers disease.
Medtalk airs Tuesday nights at 10.
Meanwhile, up for review in Top Gear is the Koenigsegg CCX or Competition Coupé X, is a mid-engined sports car made in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the completion and test drive of the first CC vehicle. The Honda Civic also takes the spotlight on review with the Nissan Micra C+C, a coupe convertible powered by an 1.4 or 1.6 L gasoline engine, or a 1.5 L diesel.
