Patient advocacy groups and networks of pag's (such as IMP) are active in many fields. Although Patient Advocacy Groups (PAG) do not have a political character they are sometimes faced with controversial topics. Such topics may entail political issues, ethical discussions, dramatic individual situations, or conflicts of interest.
IMP is a network of national patient organisations/groups. These national PAG's have their own policies and points of view. IMP in itself houses many different opinions and offers room for all those differences.
However, there may be a need within the mitochondrial community to be clear and transparant about certain subjects. If this is the case, IMP will issue a policy paper and you will be able to find them here.
