People and Patients have a fundamental
right to play a meaningful role in developing healthcare policies and programs
as policy decisions, at whatever level they are made, will ultimately affect
patients' lives. Engaging patients in health policy
decisions helps to ensure that policies reflect patient and caregiver needs,
preferences and capabilities, making it an appropriate and cost-effective way
to address their needs.Patient-centred healthcare promotes greater patient responsibility and optimalusage which ultimately leads to improved health outcomes, quality of life and patient satisfaction.
There has been strong support among HIA members on prioritising patient and care giver led advocacy and palliative care within the scope of HIA activities. A workshop on “Needs Assessment – Capacities of Patients to Manage Non-Communicable Diseases and Lead Advocacy for their Prevention and Control”, was organised on September 2, 2016, under the umbrella of HIA by Nada India Foundation (NIF) and DakshamA. The focus of the workshop was partly to orient people living with NCDs, care givers and community leaders about their role as advocates in the prevention and control of NCDs.
