Summary

The European Parliament recently recognized officially citizens initiatives, specifically the *European Charter of Patients Rights*, based on the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. This initiative was supported by nearly 100 civic and patient organizations, including the European Citizens Advisory Committee. The organization, *Active Citizenship Network*, has since been established as a formal body within the Parliament to facilitate patient rights advocacy. Its work is supported by the EU Institutions and is held at the Parliament with a large multi-stakeholder conference.
*Active Citizenship Network and EU Institutions* organize the annual European Patients Rights Day celebration to foster dialogue on health priorities. This event typically includes key policy experts and leaders.
*Active Citizenship Network* works alongside other European stakeholders to improve healthcare access and safety.
