For immediate release: July 22, 2011 Undiagnosed Disease Bill to be re-introduced in House NIH Slated to house national database on Undiagnosed Illnesses
Patients suffering from undiagnosed illnesses would have an improved chance of discovering successful treatment options if a bill scheduled to be introduced next Wednesday by U.S. Rep. John Carter (R-TX) is passed into law.
The CAL Undiagnosed Diseases Research & Collaboration Network Act of 2011 would create a database for undiagnosed diseases at the National Institutes of Health for maintenance of case records to advance the early detection, prevention, treatment, cure, and control of currently undiagnosed and unregistered diseases.
