IAPO is a global alliance representing patients of all nationalities across all disease areas and promoting patient-centred healthcare around the world. Its members are patients' organisations working at the international, regional, national and local levels to represent and support patients, their families and carers.
IAPO's mission is to help build patient-centred healthcare worldwide by:
- Realising active partnerships with patients' organisations, maximising their impact through capacity building
- Advocating internationally with a strong patients' voice on relevant aspects of healthcare policy, with the aim of influencing international, regional and national health agendas and policies.
- Building cross-sector alliances and working collaboratively with like-minded medical and health professionals, policy makers, academics, researchers and industry representatives.
TIF is a full member of IAPO since April 2007 and participates in the annual meetings including the Global Patients’ Congress, as well as workshops and seminars on topics of relevance to our work. IAPO’s European sister organisation is the European Patients Forum, in whose activities TIF is strongly involved through our President Mr Panos Englezos as member of the EPF Board.
