Spinal muscular atrophy is a rare genetic disease. Nusinersen and Risdiplam, recognized as disease-modifying therapies, were included in the National Reimbursement Drug List in 2022 and 2023, respectively, in China. Policies have been implemented to enhance a multi-level medical security system, particularly for rare diseases.
