FUNDEM is a non-profit entity that dedicates its efforts to the well-being of the population with high-cost and orphan chronic diseases, providing programs aimed at patients and caregivers; such as access programs, monitoring, support in the different services that the patient requires, accompaniment and information about pathologies. And also health and social services that positively impact well-being and quality of life. Fundem was created on March 31, 2006, after a group of patients expressed the needs and situations that they were affected after a diagnosis and its founders took the initiative to create an organization that would satisfy the needs that were addressed. They currently have a number of 5,000 patients and through social networks 5.5 million have been educated about their pathology and care. Located in the city of Bogotá, however they operate at the national level.
