Patient group funding

European Cancer Patient Coalition

Established in 2003, The European Cancer Patient Coalition is the voice of the European cancer patient community, uniquely representing the interests of all cancer patient groups from the major to the rarer cancers. It has been established to represent the views of cancer patients in the European healthcare debate and to provide a forum for European cancer patients to exchange information and share best practice experiences. The organisation derives its mandate to speak with one voice for all cancer patients. With its motto "Nothing about us without us!" ECPC represents more than 190 patient organisations in more than 20 EU states across the EU. ECPC is an independent, non-profit umbrella organisation registered under Dutch charity law.

We have supported this organisation since 2004.
