International Alliance of Patient Organizations (IAPO)

The International Alliance of Patient Organizations is a global network representing the collective voice of patients worldwide.

Founded to ensure that patient perspectives are central to healthcare decision-making, IAPO advocates for patient-centered care, equitable access to treatments, and improvements in health policy across countries. The organization works with patient groups, healthcare providers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to address shared challenges and promote collaborative solutions. Through education, advocacy, and research, IAPO empowers patient organizations to influence healthcare systems at local, national, and international levels. It provides training and resources to strengthen the capacity of patient organizations, helping them to engage effectively in policy discussions, clinical research, and healthcare planning. By facilitating global dialogue and knowledge-sharing, IAPO fosters a more inclusive, responsive, and effective healthcare environment that prioritizes the needs and rights of patients everywhere. Its mission reflects a commitment to ensuring that patients are not only heard but actively shape the decisions that affect their care and quality of life.
