Support map - discover local patient associations
The map of provinces, available on the Patient Organisations Database, is a tool to discover support at a local level. Each province on the map is an access point to a detailed list of organisations, allowing patients to find support in their immediate area. This interactive map not only visualises the distribution of associations, but also provides a starting point for a deeper understanding of the specifics of support in different regions of Poland. Using the map is intuitive - simply select a region to access information on available resources, which is invaluable for planning healthcare close to home.
Specialist patient organisations - a guide to medical categories
Specialised patient organisations offer support tailored to specific medical conditions and needs. The guide to medical categories in the Institute for Patients' Rights and Health Education's database makes it easy to find out which associations are active within each speciality - from cardiology to oncology. In this way, patients can quickly find support groups, treatment information and advice in the areas of medicine that are most relevant to them. This knowledge is crucial for increasing the effectiveness of treatment and improving patients' quality of life.
Partnership in treatment - the role of patient organisations in the health system
Patients' organisations have a fundamental role in the health system, acting as partners in the treatment process. They provide a bridge between patients and medical professionals, enabling dialogue and knowledge exchange. Through education, peer-to-peer support and advocacy, these organisations contribute to improving standards of care, tailoring treatment to individual needs and strengthening the voice of patients in decisions about their health.
