The PRAC welcomed the appointment by the European Commission of one member and alternate each representing healthcare professionals and patient organizations. Filip Babylon will represent healthcare professionals’ organizations and Albert van der Zeijden will represent patients’ organizations for a three-year period. Their alternates are Kirsten Myhr and Marco Greco, respectively. The meeting was made by the European Commission following a public call for expression of interests and a consultation of the European Parliament. The representatives of patients and healthcare professional organizations will fully participate in the work of the PRAC from April 2013. Their role is to bring the views, concerns and experiences of patients and doctors to the PRAC’s scientific considerations thus enriching its decision-making.
