At the European Federation of Homeopathic Patients’ Associations (EFHPA, pronounced “EFF-pah”), we believe that patients have a fundamental right to patient-centred healthcare that respects their needs, preferences and values.
EFHPA is proud to be a member of the European Patients’ Forum and EuroCAM. EFHPA is also a founding member of the TCIH (Traditional, Complementary and Integrated Healthcare) Declaration. The People’s Declaration calls for the respectful collaboration between traditional, complementary and biomedical practices with the aim of achieving a person-centred and holistic approach to health.
EFHPA represents patients across Europe. We have member organisations from across the whole Eurozone not just countries in the EU and can communicate in German, French, English and Dutch.
Since the late 1990s, EFHPA was part of the European Committee for Homeopathy (ECH) as its Patient/Users sub-committee. In October 2003, sub-committee members decided to create an independent organisation to have an independent voice. Yet, we remain affiliated to the ECH so that it can fulfil its duty under European law to represent patients.
Before EFHPA became an independent organisation, it was developed as, and met regularly as a patient/users’ sub-committee of the European Committee for Homeopathy (ECH), to which it remains affiliated.
The organisation is headed by a Board of people elected by the members, from amongst the membership.
