202530 Years of Patient Representation - Set

On 28 June 1995, Patiente Vertriedung asbl was founded by seven larger and smaller organisations with the aim of advocating more strongly for patients’ rights. At that time, there was no institution or organisation in Luxembourg that specifically dealt with the rights of patients vis-à-vis medical service providers and could serve as a guiding hand through the sea of information and the multitude of actors in the sector. It was not until 2014 that a law was passed that consolidated patient rights and obligations in a single text, thus bringing more clarity to them.
