COVID-19 EMERGENCY

ERN BOND aims to support patients and their families dealing with rare bone diseases, ensuring accessibility to and appropriateness of healthcare and social services. Never before it has been more important for ERN BOND to operate for these patients.
This section has been created to become a hub for RBD patients who need information and clinicians treating COVID19 patients who are affected by a RBD.
