Patient Solidarity Day 2018 - International Alliance of Patients' Organizations (IAPO)
IHF expresses its support for the
Patient Solidarity Day 2018 on 7 December 2018. We join patients and advocates around the globe in the call for "Safe Medication and Healthcare for all". Patient-centered care and patient advocacy are among the topics IHF addresses in its knowledge-sharing activities. At the last
World Hospital Congress in Brisbane, a number of keynote sessions featured patients who demonstrated how they can play an important role in organizing delivery of care. You can watch the plenary recordings
here.
In 2014, IHF published a special collaborative issue with IAPO on patient engagement (
WHHS Vol. 50 No. 3). It includes an article that puts forward the important role patients can play in reducing medication errors (M. Leuthold, Patient as partners for improving safety).
We encourage you to also promote your commitment to patient-centered healthcare by supporting the Patient Solidarity Day led by IAPO. Helpful resources available
here.
