We encourage research 
ensuring that medical progress reaches everyone

Rare diseases primarily affect the weakest in our society. Every year, at least 1,000 children die of a rare disease in Germany. Rare is only the respective clinical picture: In Germany alone, up to 5 million people are affected by one of these usually severe chronic diseases. Due to a lack of research, there is a lack of effective treatment approaches and medications.
The Eva Luise and Horst Köhler Foundation wants to change this through targeted research funding, networking and public relations.

We support research into rare diseases and invest specifically in the necessary structures. As the initiator of the Alliance4Rare, the Eva Luise and Horst Köhler Foundation, together with partners from research and civil society, is shaping a future model for pediatric research in Germany.

We act today, because people with rare diseases urgently need the 'medicine of tomorrow'. Support us - ensuring that medical progress reaches everyone!
