‘’Shortages affect patient safety and quality of care, and can lead to financial hardship and anxiety. Patient organisations can make a valuable contribution by helping to define what critical medicine is.’’ - @IsaProano, @EFA_Patients#HERA2023Conference@sara_saracerdas
In 2021, #climatechange was responsible for more than 61,000 deaths in Europe.
Our colleague @GenonHEAL highlights at #HERA2023Conference how health groups such as @EFA_Patients and @EuroRespSoc are mobilising for clear policy responses to mitigate and adapt to this threat.
Session 1⃣ of #HERA2023conference brought together HERA, the European Medicines Agency, the European Parliament, Member States and Civil Society to explore strategies to be implemented at the national and European levels to improve the accessibility of critical medicines.
📆 Today is #WorldCOPDDay

Today is a milestone.
We are attending the first meeting of the EC Health Technology Assessment network since the EU Regulation was adopted.
The Chair @mayacmat stresses this process will focus on:
➡️ High quality
➡️ Elevating knowledge
➡️ Transparency
➡️ Inclusiveness
With digital #healthdata the healthcare system can move away from its paternalism. But first patients need to be served with:
✅ Data ownership
✅ Data purpose
✅ Data accountability
#HIMSS23Europe#EHDS
"In person consultations should remain the golden standard in healthcare", says @MParkkila from @CPME_EUROPA.
Indeed, patients are not just #healthdata, but actors of health
That's the clivage #EFAPatientsDigital tries to break in the shift towards digital
