每年2月的最后一天是"国际罕见病日"。在我国，罕见病患者已超2000万，构成了一个不可忽视的群 体。在全球所有已知的罕见病中，存在有效治疗手段的仅约5%。而诊疗过程中，42%的患者经历过误 诊，平均确诊时间为4.26年，这更加重了患者的诊疗负担。 研究显示，罕见病带来的疾病负担远高于常见疾病，因病致贫率在我国超过了35%。同时，对患者家庭 和社会而言，罕见病导致的肢体残疾、心理折磨、自理能力丧失，阻碍了患者回归社会，这也导致整个 家庭需要承担无休止的照料责任与精神压力。医疗卫生体系亟待填补这一保障缺口。 为此，世界卫生组织于2025年第一次将罕见病列为全球卫生公平和包容的优先事项，敦促各成员国制定 国家罕见病健康计划，内容包括提升诊断水平、提供可负担的治疗，以及出台更多支持研究和创新的政 策。这也为中国罕见病诊疗保障体系的完善指明了方向。 近年来，我国在罕见病领域的进步有目共睹。《2026罕见病行业趋势观察报告》显示，2025年中国罕见 病治理正经历一场深刻的系统性变革，各主要领域均有突破。截至 2025年底，已有71种罕见病的140种 药物纳入医保目录。2025年12月，国家医保局、人力资源社会保障部发布" ...

证券日报网讯 2月24日，上海莱士（002252）在互动平台回答投资者提问时表示，依据国家增值税新 政，血液制品中的罕见病药物仍适用3%简易征收，其他血液制品业务不再适用3%简易征收，该调整属 于行业统一政策。若实行，对行业有一定影响。公司将通过优化采购管理、增强进项抵扣管理力度等合 规方式降低政策变动带来的影响。 ...

2026年2月28日，第19个国际罕见病日即将到来。当聚光灯再次聚焦于这个长期隐匿在公众视野之外的 群体时，一个更为冷峻的现实逐渐浮现：对于中国约2000万罕见病患者而言，疾病带来的困扰不仅限于 医学层面的诊断与治疗，更是一场关乎生存尊严的持久博弈。 "用得上药、用得起药"，这八个字看似简单，却构成了罕见病群体与命运抗争的全部命题。在国家层面 不断织密保障网、各地探索"多方共付"的当下，一个关键的制度性缺口依然待补。 "罕见病绝非单纯的医学难题"，原上海市政协常委黄鸣在接受21世纪经济报道记者采访时表示，罕见病 本质上是一个"社会学问题"。国家层面系统推进罕见病防治与多层次社会保障体系建设，其核心考量在 于平衡——既要平衡13亿参保人的整体利益与少数特殊群体的生存权益，也要平衡医疗救助的公平性与 医药创新的可持续性。 此外，在DRG/DIP按病种付费模式下，由于罕见病的费用结构偏离常规，医院常常面临"收治即亏损"的 困境。这种结算压力让医疗机构在收治罕见病患者时"望而却步"。药品虽已纳入医保，但患者却难以入 院治疗，这成为了打通"最后一公里"的新障碍。 近年来，国家层面的政策框架已逐步清晰。国家医保局明确指出 ...
