WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, UNITED STATES, April 17, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Washington DC, April 17, 2024 – The World Patients Alliance (WPA) supports the groundbreaking initiative of the Patient Advocacy Leadership Collective (PALC), aimed at empowering patient advocacy groups worldwide by offering evidence-based tools and resources that helps enhance the capacity of advocacy organizations. Advocacy skills are essential for patient organizations, enabling patients to actively engage in their healthcare, improve communication with healthcare providers, access information, and contribute to positive changes in the healthcare system. The PALC stands out as an innovative hub, providing connectivity, community resources, and tools focused on sustainable capacity building for patient advocates globally.

"The PALC represents a pivotal advancement in the realm of patient advocacy", stated Hussain Jafri, Executive Director of the WPA.

"Empowering patient advocacy is not just a mission; it's a movement. The Patient Advocacy Leadership Collective represents a pivotal step forward in our collective journey toward patient-centered care and inclusive healthcare systems", said Andrew Spiegel Esq, Chair, WPA.

The PALC, co-created with a global board of patient advisors with support from Pfizer, offers a range of programs, including NextGen Leadership, Mentorship, and the Global Health Fellows programs, which support organizational growth and connect advocacy professionals. All courses have been curated by an independent faculty of leading patient advocates from across therapeutic areas.

“At Pfizer, patients, advocates and caregivers are at the center of everything we do,” said Emma Andrews, VP, Global Patient Advocacy at Pfizer. “The Patient Advocacy Leadership Collective is a first-of-its-kind platform that can aid growth and development for patient advocates around the world.”
