PATIENTS’ RIGHTS IN EUROPE
A CITIZENS’ REPORT was presented by ACN in Brussels on 28 February - 1 March during a conference held in the European Parliament. The Report is based on the monitoring European Charter of Patients’ Rights, in cooperation with 13 national-based citizens’ organizations. This is a concrete experience in European active citizenship where civic organizations have directly produced information regarding the level of attention being given to patients’ rights. This information is not available in official statistics and can only enrich the present data and information on health care at the European level.
