The International Alliance of Patients’ Organizations (IAPO) is an alliance of patient groups in official relationship with the WHO and is representing the interests of patients worldwide. We reach over 1 million patients through our 286-member patient alliances and organizations based in more than 70 countries covering over 50 different disease areas.

IAPO is one of the founding members of the IAPO P4PS Observatory, embracing the vision and mission of increasing patient voice in the research and capacity building for safer care worldwide.

In 2021, IAPO established the IAPO Patients for Patient Safety Observatory to ensure that cohesive and complementary evidence-based patient safety action is taken by all stakeholders. The IAPO P4PS Observatory will be a critical component in the delivery of safe UHC 2030.

IAPO Patients for Patient Safety Observatory is a single-point global platform for gathering and analysing patients’ expertise and experience that would feed into the national, regional and global policies aimed at improving patient and quality of care for patients by the patients.
