World PI Week Campaign 2022
In the World PI Week campaign 2022, patients, healthcare professionals and other stakeholders from over 40 countries joined forces to drive change for patients in innovative ways under the slogan “Lives can be saved”.
IPOPI was proud to be able to support campaigns from 28 different NMOs through IPOPI’s World PI Week grant programme.
Through the social media campaign #MyPhysicianAndI, IPOPI also chose to spotlight the important relationship between physicians and patients for rare chronic diseases like PIDs. Throughout World PI Week, IPOPI published selfies from the members to showcase this relationship and the equally important relationship between patient organisations and their medical advisors. IPOPI was very pleased with this campaign and thanked all NMOs who contributed to it.

World PI Week Campaign 2021
Digital innovation is two key words underpinning 2021´s World PI Week campaign for all PID Stakeholders. IPOPI saw its NMOs launch social media campaigns, webinars, live streams, drawing contests, educational videos, photo contests, virtual runs, letter-writing campaigns to policymakers, and much more.
Impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, WPIW 2021 was focused on three themes: 1) Plasma availability; 2) Patient safety and protection – focus on vaccination; 3) Quality of life and health outcomes.
The themes were touched upon in various ways, for example in the campaign teaser videos and in the WPIW Talks podcast launched during the campaign week. The campaign also saw an increased engagement from key opinion leaders, mentioning the need for policymakers to ensure plasma supply so that patients with PID have access to their live-saving treatments, ensuring a good quality of life.
