Goal 2: PATIENT’S INVOLVEMENT
To ensure meaningful patient involvement in EU health-related policy-making, programmes and projects

Goal 3: PATIENT’S PERSPECTIVE
To ensure a patients’ perspective, including issues around human rights and quality of life, is heard in developments at EU level on health economics and health efficacy

Goal 4: SUSTAINABLE PATIENT ORGANISATIONS
To encourage inclusive, effective and sustainable representative patient organisations

Goal 5: PATIENT UNITY
To nurture and promote solidarity and unity across the EU patients’ movement
