Rare Disease and Genetic Disorder Care

Rare diseases and genetic disorders often require more than a single department. In Shanghai, major pediatric centers can combine genetics, metabolism, neurology, cardiology, surgery, and rehabilitation to evaluate undiagnosed or complex inherited conditions and coordinate longer-term follow-up for children and families.
