In this context, the article published by ACN explores the impact of the pandemic on patients suffering from non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

The newly published manuscript discussed about the significance of the engagement and empowerment of all European citizens, Patients' Advocacy Groups (PAGs), citizens organizations involved in healthcare issues and, more generally, to all actors that promote health as a common good, as a way to improve the health system. More in particular, the article focuses on the promotion of civic participation in the drafting and implementation process of National Recovery and Resilience Plans (NRRPs).
