European Federation of Patients' Associations for Anthroposophic Medicine (EFPAM)

We strive for:

Access to medical services and products

Use of adequate legislation / Application of appropriate legislation

Current European legislation does not adequately allow for the registration of all anthroposophic medicinal products; a third of all medicines are currently not permitted.
European legislation urgently needs to be revised

Availability of medical services and products

Due to the inadequate legislation, anthroposophic medicinal products are not available to all who want to use them.
This discrimination may cause the decline of the numbers of anthroposophic health professionals.
Availability varies enormously between EU member states.

The costs of medical services and products

Anthroposophic medical products and services should be reimbursed to patients just like any other medical services and products

To represent the views and interests of patients who wish to use anthroposophic medicine in all its forms, in combination with other medicines or instead.
To support and further the right of the individual to self-determination in health matters
To cooperate with European, international and national institutions in the field of health in the broadest sense
To contribute towards the cultural and legal recognition of anthroposophic medicine in all its forms
To support the recognition and insertion of patients' rights into any future legislation
To extend the right to reimbursement by health insurance schemes of all services and products of anthroposophic medicine in accordance with the principal of citizen equality
