The "Voices That Matter" session is a unique platform where patients, healthcare providers, and policymakers come together to engage in meaningful dialogue. This session is not just about listening — it is about making a difference. It is an opportunity to engage directly with those shaping healthcare policies, voice concerns, and influence the future of patient-centered care.

Patients are often forgotten in the Healthcare discourse. Their unheard voices never see the day of light. At IPU, we firmly believe that these 'Patient Voices' can help facilitate a major shift towards a patient driven healthcare. We bring to you unheard voices of Patients and Caregivers who face the ordeal of the healthcare system.
