GREEK PATIENTS’ ASSOCIATION
Patients and citizens joining our voices!
The Greek Patients Association is the confederation of more than 70 patients’ organizations from all over Greece and across the spectrum of disease. It was founded in May 2019, with the aim of defending the rights of health care recipients, the equal participation of patients in designing and implementing policies concerning them and their contribution to the promotion of public health. Since March 2020, the Association has been a member of the European Patients Forum, the European umbrella organization for national and regional patient confederations.
