‘EPF believes that ALL patients, no matter their
condition, background or nationality, have a
fundamental and legitimate human right of access to
information about their health, medical conditions and
the availability of treatments including knowledge
of the best available management of their disease.
It is a question of solidarity, equity and patients’ rights’

Governance issues• How will the information be regulated ?• Three options
• an ex ante validation mechanism wherby national authorities would assess and validate information to patients.
• co-regulation which includes a review process which would be built on ex poste controls including sanctions
• self regulation according to an agreed code of practice.
