What is ENERCA?

ENERCA is an acronym for European Network for Rare and Congenital Anaemias. It started back in 2002, funded by the European Commission, with the purpose of offering an improved public health service to professional medical practitioners and patients in every aspect of rare anaemias.

ENERCA is currently in its third phase (ENERCA 3), which main objective is the consolidation of a European Reference Network of Experts Centres in Rare Anaemias. Not only will such a Network link the Existing European centres, but will also become a platform for providing both information and services to health professionals, patients, citizens, stakeholders interested in rare diseases, authorities and pharmaceutical industry managers.

In addition, it will also help to promote the harmonisation of diagnostic procedures, the provision of a tool for epidemiological surveillance of rare anaemias in Europe and the cooperation between experts.
