Patient Groups Sponsoring

Giving Patients a Voice 

Patient organizations play an important role in the healthcare system. They can educate the public and provide patients with relevant advice how to live with the burden of disease. Their role extends beyond counselling. These organizations give patients an important say in the health care system.

To fulfil their role as an independent voice for patients, relationships with pharmaceutical companies should be guided by the principle of transparency and co-operations should neither influence therapy decisions nor promote specific therapies.
