White paper on personalized medicine in Bulgaria - a roadmap for integrating 21st Century innovations in medicine to change healthcare policies through active citizen participation and adoption of patient-centric approach

The project entitled “White paper on personalized medicine in Bulgaria - a roadmap for integrating 21st Century innovations in medicine to change health policies through active citizen participation and adoption of patient-centric approach”, will initiate a new model in healthcare, based on personalized medicine, through the mechanisms of civic participation in policy-making and implementation of politics. The project will demonstrate the opportunities for implementation of innovative solutions in healthcare, through active involvement of stakeholders, applying partnership approach. The envisaged activities will raise awareness and will encourage citizens, civil organizations and business to engage, through an active position, in collaboration with the administration and based on partnership approaches, to make society a corrective of policy decisions and goals. Making recommendations and proposals as a result of the performed research and analysis, carried out within the project frame, will be a tool for citizens to participate in defining state policy in a socially sensitive area such as healthcare. The target groups specified for inclusion in the project are administration of state institutions, governmental bodies defining health policy, non-governmental organizations, as well as their employees, business and the public. The project will be a step towards shaping a publicly responsible health policy by involving stakeholders and implementing consensus-based mechanisms, placing the patient at the center of the system, improving the delivery of health services, and building a better regulatory environment for civil participation in defining future health policy.
