What Filière FAVA-Multi does

Filière FAVA-Multi (legal name: Filière Maladies Vasculaires Rares) is a French national healthcare coordination network headquartered at Hôpital Bichat in Paris and established under the rare disease national plan (PNMR). It is the designated filière de santé for rare vascular diseases with multisystemic involvement, coordinating care, research, and training for conditions including Marfan syndrome, Rendu-Osler disease (HHT), arteriovenous malformations, primary lymphedema, Takayasu arteritis, and Maffucci syndrome. The central organization operates with a small project team (9 employees) and orchestrates a network of more than 23 reference and competence centers (CRMR/CCMR) across France, integrated via the BaMaRa national patient registry, a centralized documentary database, multidisciplinary consultation meetings (RCP), therapeutic patient education (ETP) programs, and the Psy-FAVA-Multi psychological support platform staffed by clinical psychologists.

The network's core products and services are organized around four pillars: patient pathways (expert centers, psychological support, ETP, medical-social support, and a treatment observatory), medical recommendations and emergency guidelines, professional training (including the Diplôme Universitaire Maladies Vasculaires Rares et Génétique delivered with Université Paris Cité), and research coordination (calls for projects, clinical trials, and the BaMaRa registry). Notable technical components include the BaMaRa registry integrated as a data warehouse, the documentary database, and integration with Vascern at the European level. The organization is the French national node of Vascern, the European Reference Network for rare multisystemic vascular diseases.

Filière FAVA-Multi is a publicly funded, non-commercial entity. Revenue is derived from French Ministry of Health grants administered through the Direction Générale de l'Offre de Soins (DGOS), with no commercial pricing model — services to patients and healthcare providers are free. The go-to-market is community-led: the network reaches patients and HCPs through its website, newsletter, annual scientific meetings, scientific encounters, and awareness events such as International Rare Disease Day and World Lymphedema Day. Annual research project disbursements (€3,483–€10,000 per award) and project funding calls are the primary funding mechanisms. Governance is led by Guillaume Jondeau (PU-PH) as Directeur de la publication, with no equity ownership, shareholders, or M&A activity.
