About Us

The International Alliance of Patients’ Organizations (IAPO) is a global alliance that represents patients from all nations and across all disease areas with the mission to promote patient-centred healthcare worldwide. IAPO achieves this by empowering patients' organizations to be as effective as possible, advocating with a strong patient voice on critical healthcare policies to influence international, regional, and national health agendas. Additionally, IAPO builds cross-sector alliances and collaborates with like-minded medical and health professionals, policymakers, academics, researchers, and industry representatives.
