AESGP has consistently served as a benchmark for regional associations worldwide. As ILAR, we’ve drawn inspiration not only from its working methods but also from its regulatory and advocacy projects to foster a more conducive environment for the adoption of self-care. In mirroring AESGP’s initiatives, we strive to enhance awareness and accessibility to self-care solutions, aligning with global efforts to empower individuals in managing their health. Through collaborative activities and shared best practices, we endeavour to contribute to a paradigm shift towards proactive health management, improving overall well-being and healthcare sustainability on a broader scale.
