Summary

A proposal has emerged to establish a less formal grouping of Members of the European Parliament dedicated to championing patient rights.

This initiative stems from a broad appeal made by nearly one hundred civil and patient groups to the EU Parliament. They seek formal acknowledgement for citizen-led efforts, referencing documents like the European Charter of Patients Rights.

The celebration of European Patients Rights Day, held annually on April 18th since 2007, is a significant event.

These European-level commemorations are spearheaded by the Active Citizenship Network, receiving backing from EU institutions. They typically take place at the EU Parliament, adopting a large multi-stakeholder conference format to discuss who influences health policy decisions.
