about the forum
11 February of the year is World Day of the Sick
As part of the World Day of the Sick celebrations, a Patients' Organisations Forum has been held since 2007, organised for more than 200 organisations from all over Poland and many invited guests.
It is the largest and at the same time the oldest conference aimed at the community of patient organisations representing patients in various therapeutic areas. This makes the Forum an effective platform for the exchange of experiences between organisations operating in different areas of health care and fosters discussion on systemic solutions to improve the quality of life of patients.
