Description
The aim of the project is the establishment and development of an organization that will cover and coordinate the common interests of organizations currently operating for the benefit of people with diabetes in the Czech Republic - Alliance of Diabetes Patients of the Czech Republic (APDČR). A similar umbrella organization with the joint involvement of patients with diabetes (DM) of all types and ages and a complete range of activities needed for effective patient advocacy, the formulation of health and follow-up policies is still lacking in the Czech Republic. Due to the current state of membership bases of most potential member organizations, it is not possible for their management to expand the current limited offer of activities. APDČR will help and provide individual member organizations with the necessary and beneficial activities. It will employ professionals in the given areas in order to be a partner of providers and payers of health care, to ensure effective patient advocacy and systemic participation of patients in legislative processes. It will implement contact with the state administration, control the quality of health services and mediate public control of the system more effectively than individual member organizations can without knowledge-based personnel capacities. A similar role of umbrella umbrella organizations is envisaged, for example, by the strategic document Health 2030, or the State Policy towards NGOs in 2015-2020. The APDCR project PO (especially the condition of leadership or a majority stake in the leadership and management of the organization patients). The basic principles of the organization and activities of the APDCR will be transparency, legitimacy, democracy, representativeness and accountability.
