Declaration Made By The Global Pituitary Patient Community
Patient Declaration
PREAMBLE
- Patient groups from across the world that support patients with pituitary disorders are concerned about the diagnostic delays that create unnecessary burdens for patients and the differences that exist in the provision of treatment and care worldwide.
- We believe that all patients should be treated equally regardless of their race, nationality, faith, age, sex or economic status.
- This document is a consensus declaration from the pituitary patient groups that assembled in Zurich, Switzerland on 19-21st October 2012. It identifies a set of basic standards which we call on health care professionals, hospital administrators and health authorities to adopt and to build upon for the benefit of the patients they serve.
