Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
In the current healthcare system, patients are, for the most part, passive consumers of medicines. Patients far outnumber healthcare workers. If patients could be empowered to actively participate in improving medicine safety, public health may be transformed. This article discusses patient empowerment through the lens of medicine safety. Although hugely challenging, patient empowerment ought to be a top priority for biomedical R&D and public health policy.
