Lieven Annemans, Senior Full Professor Economics of Health and Wellbeing at Ghent University, shared Vital Transformation’s post on LinkedIn, adding:
“The insight that patients should systematically be involved in healthcare initiatives and decisions at different levels has become more mature, yet still forgotten too much.
‘Nothing about the patient without the patient’ should be a leitmotif for anyone in healthcare at any level.”
Quoting Vital Transformation’s post:
“Involving patients from the start – and throughout – helps set priorities that reflect real needs and tradeoffs. It guides measures that track what matters in daily life, surfaces barriers to access, and keeps prevention and early detection in view alongside treatment. The goal is decisions grounded in lived experience.
In the latest Vital Health Podcast, host Duane Schulthess sits with Andreas Charalambous, Lieven Annemans to explore how Europe can translate cancer commitments into action. They discuss EU facilitation alongside national responsibility, access differences across member states, the role of prevention and comparable data, and how social and commercial drivers shape outcomes.”
