Launched by ACN, the European Patients’ Rights Day (EPRD) was established on 18 April 2007 at the European Parliament to highlight a number of patients’ rights, drafted in the European Charter of Patients' Rights, that should be recognized, respected and implemented all around Europe. Over the years, the EPRD has become a fixed appointment hosted in the EU Parliament and included in the EU agenda (some examples by EU Commission: 2013, 2014, participation & messages by Health Commissioner Andriukaitis in 2016, 2017, 2018, etc.).
