11th Global Patients Congress

The Global Patients Congress (GPC) is IAPO’s biennial flagship event bringing together our global membership alongside a diverse range of healthcare stakeholders to explore key topics concerning patients and people with lived experience around the world, as well as opportunities for collaboration on shared solutions.

In 2025, we are holding the 11th edition of our congress (GPC 2025) and we are proud to be co-hosting it with IAPO member Psoriasis Philippines (PsorPhil), a globally recognised patient organisation representing the interests of patients living with psoriatic disease in the Philippines.

This year's congress marks over 25 years of IAPO’s bold leadership, relentless innovation, and global collaboration as the pioneering and most established global alliance of patients' organisations. To celebrate this milestone, GPC 2025 features an inclusive, patient-led approach that highlights real-world experiences and the strength of our global patient organisation community.
