The 11th Global Patients Congress (GPC 2025) will take place as a hybrid event on 16-17 November 2025 in Manila, Philippines.

The Global Patients Congress brings together IAPO’s global membership alongside a diverse range of healthcare stakeholders to explore key topics concerning patients and people with lived experience and their role in shaping more inclusive, equitable, safe and quality-assured health systems worldwide.

GPC 2025 will be a unique opportunity for our global community of patient organisations to connect, share experiences, and strengthen collaboration across sectors – all in the spirit of amplifying the patient voice worldwide!

GPC 2025 co-host  

We are proud to be co-hosting GPC 2025 with IAPO member Psoriasis Philippines (PsorPhil) – a globally recognised patient organisation representing the interests of patients living with psoriasis in the Philippines.

Together with PsorPhil, we are creating an inclusive, patient-led Congress that will highlight real-world experiences and the strength of our global patient organisation community!

GPC 2025 theme

From Voices to Action: Patient Organisations Shaping Health System Transformation

GPC 2025 will spotlight the power of patients’ voices and lived experiences in shaping health systems that are truly co-created with, by, and for patients worldwide, and underscore why the role of patients' organisations has never been more vital during this moment of profound change in global health. It will explore how health systems can become more responsive, as well as more inclusive and sustainable, when patient voices are truly embedded in governance, policy-making, service design, and delivery.
