In recent months, it hasn’t always been easy to see a doctor. And now, as life slowly gets back to something like normal, it can be difficult to pick up where you left off. Staying in control of our lives can be a daily struggle—especially this year, and especially for those who live with a chronic condition. It’s time for a change. It’s time to work together to take back control. It’s time to focus on our health again.

After nearly two years it is still urgent to better address the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic. Evidence collected during the crisis show that the Covid-19 has had a significant impact also on non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

In line with its long-term commitment on therapeutic adherence, Active Citizenship Network (ACN) is launching an EU Survey with the aim to better contribute – starting from the citizens’ and patients’ perspective – on understanding the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on non-communicable and chronic patients’ therapeutic adherence.
