Adulthood is when one should be able to live independently; when one can earn a living and become self-sufficient. But, should a rare individual have a disability, the severity of the disability can determine whether they can get and hold a job or start something of their own to become self-employed.  This episode explores how two people with rare illnesses have coped. Kedar Indurkar is a 43-year-old with Cerebral Palsy and is a recipient of an award by the President of India for his work. Manav Goyal has facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). See <a href="https://www.sunoindia.in/privacy-policy">sunoindia.in/privacy-policy</a> for privacy information.

Climbing the job ladder with a chronic rare illness

There are more than 7,000 documented rare conditions in the world. While there is no known cure for some conditions, where there is a cure (or maintenance through medicines is possible), the cost of medication is exponentially high to bear. This podcast will focus on the status of rare conditions in India, which has been talked about very little in Indian society. It will be a one-of-its-kind attempt in India to document the gamut of challenges and achievements of people with rare conditions and will open a constructive dialogue on what can be done. This is important because an estimated 1 in 20 Indians are affected by a rare disease. The series will bring out the human face behind rare conditions – the patients, the families, caregivers, doctors, activists and geneticists working to improve life for people with rare conditions.
