Health Policy Institute Poland (HPI) is a non-governmental organization based in Poland. Since the beginning the Institute has been taking actions to support a rational evidence-based health policy. We believe that the vision of the Polish health care system may and shall be developed in consultation with the key stakeholders. In our activities, both strategic and operational, we take into account the perspective of patients. We believe that a functional health care system is, above all, a patient-friendly system focused on true and identified patients’ needs. We have different professional experience, but our personal experience allows us to take into account the perspective of patients also in our professional activities. The Health Policy Institute cooperates on a daily basis with organizations representing the interests of patients and their rights. We cooperate both with governmental and numerous non-governmental organizations.
