Active Citizenship Network is pleased to announce that a Memorandum of Understanding has been signed with the International Alliance of Patients’ Organizations IAPO, a unique global alliance of 280 patient organizations and alliances from 72 countries representing patients across all disease areas and promoting patient-centered healthcare around the world. ACN and IAPO agreed to cooperate at the global level to encourage awareness-raising initiatives and sharing best practices on appropriate antimicrobial use and prevention of antimicrobial resistance. This will be done also through the IAPO P4PS Observatory, a single-point global platform established with the aim to put patients at the centre of safe, affordable and accessible healthcare, and with a mission of reducing preventable harm through patient empowerment and engagement as equal partners in harm prevention.
