Patient Solidarity Day takes place each December. Thousands of people from around the world rally around one key issue facing patients and raise awareness by hosting events and showing support for the Day.
Patient Solidarity Day 2020
On 4th December 2020, health stakeholders from all over the world will stand together, united in a celebration of Patient Solidarity Day (PSD 2020). This will be the eighth year running that we have joined hands to mark the Day. On PSD 2020, IAPO members, patients, various healthcare organizations, policy-makers, academia, institutions, industry and other stakeholders will come together to call for patient engagement and co-creation in building back better health systems.
The theme, 'Building back better health systems post Covid-19', will allow us to rally around a key tenet of IAPO’s Patient-centred Healthcare Declaration, that patients must have access to safe, quality and appropriate treatments as warranted by their conditions.
