Active Citizenship Network is glad to announce that a Memorandum of Understanding has been recently formalized with Together for Life (TFL), an Albanian nongovernmental and not-for-profit organization aiming at the development and empowerment of people, the protection of health rights, and the building of civil society at the national level, with a particular focus on vulnerable communities, including communities living in remote or economically less advantaged areas, women and youth.

Active Citizenship Network and Together for Life welcomed the opportunity to work together at the EU level in order to support each other’s initiatives and projects on the common areas of interest, including the protection of patients’ rights, reduction of health inequalities, patients’ empowerment, and promotion of public health as a common good. In this regard, TFL has officially endorsed the MEPs Interest Group “European Patients' Rights and Cross-border Healthcare”, focused on patients’ rights, in order to recognize the value of citizens’ initiatives and contribute to the building of a civil society at the EU level.
