Patient Solidarity Day

Patient Solidarity Day takes place each December. Thousands of people across the world rally around one topic relevant to the patient community and show support for the Day by raising awareness on social media and hosting activities to mark the campaign.

Patient Solidarity Day 2024

This year, on Monday, 9th December 2024 health stakeholders from all over the world will stand together to celebrate Patient Solidarity Day 2024 under the theme ‘The Power of Community’.

At the core of IAPO’s mission is the strength derived from our diverse global network of patient organisations. Together, we’ve built a resilient and empowering community that champions patient-centred healthcare, amplifies patient voices, and drives collaborative solutions to improve health outcomes for all.

The theme, "The Power of Community," invites us to reflect on the collective achievements of the patient movement and underscores the importance of unity and collaboration in shaping the health systems we want. It is a day to celebrate what we’ve achieved together and to inspire renewed commitment toward an even brighter future for patient-centred healthcare.

Additionally, PSD 2024 gives an opportunity to celebrate IAPO’s 25th anniversary by celebrating the remarkable journey of the patient organisation community under the theme.

We will use the occasion of PSD 2024 to invite the patient community from all over the world to share with us their views of What is the power of the global patient organisation community? -
