THE NETHERLANDS
EPECS-European Empowerment for Customised Solutions - Message of the Board: 

Dear Citizens, you and I are hit by a virus, spreading world wide on our tiny planet. It urges of all of us to play an active role. As citizens we run the risk to attract the virus and if vulnerable to become patients and eventually to die. On Patients' Rights Day 2020 especially we have a right as patients and citizens to ask of all governments, NGO’s and all companies all over the world to implement long term policies in which citizens as potential patients are much better protected. This includes implementing all over the world Corporate Social Responsibility and the SDG’s of the United Nations. The virus makes clear that viruses and bacteria are a very serious threat to mankind if we go on the way we did it up to now. It was a money making market in China where the virus this time jumped from animals to man. It are the rough mechanisms of the free market that makes us using large amounts of antibiotics in the meat industry worldwide, killing ourselves in the long run with resistant bacteria. We focus to much on Profit, forgetting the Planet and the People. Let's stop this insane behaviour of ours, ruining our Planet and the People!

On behalf of the Board of EPECS, Jo Maes, Chairman, 18th of April 2020

European Patient Right Day: local initiatives in Italy

The European Charter of Patients' Rights has been distributed in different events (seminars, street meetings, open days of the local headquarters etc..). The Italian celebration has been realized also thanks to an unrestricted educational grant from Johnson & Johnson Medical. Download the press coverage
