Health First Europe (HFE) is a non-profit organization bringing together patients, healthcare workers, academics and medical technology industry. HFE has consistently been part of building policy aimed at better patient safety in the EU. HFE’s key priority is to promote the development of a truly patient-centred healthcare, a system where all European citizens could benefit from the best medical treatments available. As part of that effort HFE has created a set of recommendations, sponsored numerous events and developed patient safety indicators.
