"As a rare disorder, patients suffering SPIGFD, often face difficulties associated with receiving a  late correct diagnosis, with consequent delayed treatment initiation with limited access to appropriate therapy. This has a considerable impact on the physical health and quality of life of these patients.2 The disease awareness and the multidisciplinary  approach are critical to improve those people's lives. This standard of care medicine is perfectly aligned with our strategy,focused on highly specialized treatments for high unmet medical and patient needs", confirms José María Giménez Arnau, Chief Scientific & Medical Officer of ESTEVE.
