ERN BOND is one of the 24 existing European Reference Networks (ERNs). In particular, ERN BOND aims to improve access to high-quality healthcare for patients suffering from rare bone diseases.
Mission
ERN BOND aims to implement measures that facilitate multidisciplinary, holistic and patient-centred care provision for people living with rare bone disorders, ensuring realisation of their fundamental human rights.
Vision
The ambition of ERN BOND is to bring rapid interchange of information, skills and practice to shorten time to diagnosis and treatment, supporting patients affected by rare bone diseases and their families.
ERNs for rare and complex diseases
European Reference Networks are unique and innovative cross-border cooperation platforms between specialists for the diagnosis and treatment of rare or low prevalence complex diseases. 24 thematic ERNs, gathering over 900 highly specialised healthcare providers from 26 countries, are working together on a wide range of issues, from bone disorders to haematological diseases, from paediatric cancer to immunodeficiency.
