The Association for the Defense of Patients' Rights was born from the observation that thousands of people die due to lack of access to quality health care, following complications induced by medicines (expired, falsified, bad quality, counterfeit, deteriorated, stolen or sold without authorization, medicines with unsuitable active ingredients, overdose, underdose, toxic excipients, etc.). It is committed to working for a true consideration of the right to health in the Democratic Republic of Congo with a patient-centered approach.
