Building on IAPO’s global strategy to support the implementation of the resolution on social participation for universal health coverage, health, and well-being, while strengthening the role of patient organisations, most recent activities include:

74th Session of the WHO Regional Committee for Europe

In late October 2024, IAPO delivered a statement at the 74th Session of the WHO Regional Committee for Europe, held in Copenhagen, Denmark on Agenda item 9: Framework for resilient and sustainable health systems in the WHO European Region 2025–2030. IAPO’s statement called on Member States to commit fully to the resolution, emphasising that involving patients, communities, and individuals with lived experience in policy design and implementation is essential to advancing safe, quality, equitable, and people-centred healthcare policies throughout Europe.
