World Patients Alliance and WONCA Partner to Promote Patient-Centered Primary Healthcare Worldwide
The World Patients Alliance (WPA) is pleased to announce its formal partnership with the World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA), a global not-for-profit association committed to improving health through high standards in family medicine and primary care. This collaboration, established through a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), marks a major step in advancing patient-centered healthcare across global systems.
WONCA, with offices in Switzerland and Brussels, brings deep experience in primary healthcare, medical education, and international collaboration. WPA and WONCA share a vision of strengthening healthcare systems through the engagement of patients, families, and communities.
This alliance underscores a shared mission to improve care quality by embedding patient voices in healthcare planning, delivery, and policy. Through regular reviews and coordinated leadership, both organizations will ensure meaningful progress aligned with evolving global needs.
Together, WPA and WONCA reaffirm their commitment to building inclusive, responsive, and equitable healthcare systems—where every patient experience matters and where primary care serves as a foundation for safe, effective, and compassionate health services.
