COPAC was established in 2008 as a need for patient organizations to act in unison to promote and defend the rights of patients in Romania. Although it is a relatively young organization, it gathers within it the experience of the member organizations and wants to be a unitary voice of the patients with chronic diseases in Romania, with representation at the legislative and administrative level, at national and local level.

COPAC is a full member of the European Patient Forum since 2010.

COPAC objectives :

• The patient should be located in the center of the healthcare system and have access to appropriate services and treatments;

• Financing of health in Romania at European level;

• Consult the patients in the real way in the changes they make in the system;
