The Patient Council is a permanent advisory body to the Minister of Health, composed of representatives of patient organizations, which acts as an intermediary for the voice of patients in the Ministry. The Council carries out consultative activities, i.e. it participates in comment proceedings, during which it comments on drafts of legislative and non-legislative materials, issues opinions or consults as a representative of patients - a stakeholder in the healthcare sector. It also establishes working groups and is dedicated to the protection of rights and the fulfillment of patients' needs.
