Dr. Ali Davoudian, the Managing Director of Rare Diseases Foundation of Iran passed away on the eve of the ninth year of the foundation’s activity.

The late Dr. Davoudian passed away because of heart failure at the age of 58. Dr. Davoudian established the Rare Diseases Foundation of Iran as a national and international institution in 1388 (2009). 

Due to the lack of any supporting organization dedicated to Rare Diseases Patients, Rare Diseases Foundation of Iran was formed by Dr. Davoudian’s effort and he had managed the foundation as a non-profit organization during these years.
