On February 5, 2013, Her Royal Highness Princess Letizia of Asturias was in Madrid to participate in a meeting with representatives from the Federación Española de Enfermedades Raras (FEDER).

According to the Spanish royal court the Federación Española de Enfermedades Raras works closely with:

 “…families and patients living with rare diseases. Through projects and services the FEDER helps to improve their quality of life in the short, medium and long term, in a society in which people with rare disease have the same opportunities in life as the rest, regardless of the rarity of this disease.”
