Patient and Caregiver Empowerment Academy

As the Patient and Caregiver Empowerment Academy, we are paving the way for patient and caregiver associations, initiatives and organizations to gain the value, power and visibility they deserve in the eyes of the public.

We believe that when these associations, which are among the most important stakeholders of civil society, manage their potential in their rights-based struggles in the right way, they will bring a strong wave of change to the healthcare ecosystem.

We know that this change requires strong institutional structures, the right message sets, an effective media strategy, strong digital assets and productive relationships with public institutions. At this point, as the Academy:

  • Shape and improve its relations with public opinion;
  • Expand its spheres of influence, referred to as "power operations", and conduct them more professionally;
  • Measure its organizational capacities with scientific methods and identify the areas of development it needs;
  • Increase their corporate competencies in traditional and new media fields;
  • Prepare message sets, value propositions and strategic positioning documents that will facilitate their relations with public institutions and organizations.

We are working because we strongly believe that a strong civil society will strengthen the rights of patients and their caregivers and make their voices louder within the healthcare system. With our expertise, experience and innovative approaches, we are determined to be a companion in helping patient associations become more effective.

We know that our associations can truly lead the transformation of healthcare services through public awareness, but this requires strategic communication, scientifically grounded values, proper planning and decisive project management. In this context, we stand by their side by continuously monitoring their institutional capacities with basic methods and scales, and aim to provide the right support at the right time.

We believe that we are stronger together, and by supporting civil initiatives, our health policies will become more participatory, more transparent and more fair. While the voice of patients and their caregivers will rise even higher with the spirit of this Academy, it will ignite the spark of social transformation.

This manifesto is a sign of the determination, belief and relentless effort of the Patient and Caregiver Empowerment Academy. We are producing together, strengthening together and making our voices heard together.

We are building the health world of the future together.
