Orphan drugs are a pharmaceutical agent that has been developed to treat a rare medical condition, called Orphan disease. In the US and EU it is easier to gain marketing approval for an orphan drug, and there may be other financial incentives, such as extended exclusivity, all intended to encourage the development of drugs which might otherwise lack a sufficient profit motive.The Orphan Drug Act (ODA) of January 1983, passed in the United States, with lobbying from the National Organization for Rare Disorders and many other organizations, is meant to encourage pharmaceutical companies to develop drugs for diseases that have a small market.

Answer:

Respected sir,

With due respect, I would like to say that in our society there are little measures taken to prevent diseases as compared to the measures taken for curing of diseases. We shall realize that the curing of diseases will become a lot lesser if we apply effective strategies to prevent diseases. If just the water supply to our house-hold comes clean, then this preventive measure will stop different kinds diseases to occur which will not have to be cured then. On the whole, the cost of prevention of a disease is lot lesser than the cost of cure of a disease. Hence, I will request you to kindly take measures on cleanliness and prevention of diseases in our society.

Thanks
