The European Patient Advocacy Institute (EPAI) is proud to congratulate WECAN on its transition to an independent legal entity: the WECAN Foundation.
For over a decade, WECAN has served as a vital network of pan-European cancer patient umbrella organisations, working to foster collaboration, alignment and empowerment in the cancer advocacy community. EPAI has been honoured to support and host WECAN throughout these formative years.
With its registration as a not-for-profit foundation under Dutch law, WECAN now steps into a new era, one that brings greater autonomy and transparency, stronger governance and expanded potential to scale its activities and strengthen its impact.
We fully support this evolution and applaud the dedicated efforts of WECAN’s leadership and members in reaching this important milestone. The establishment of the WECAN Foundation reflects a natural and well-earned progression that will ensure the sustainability and strategic growth of its advocacy mission.
EPAI remains deeply committed to WECAN’s vision and will continue to support its success as a trusted ally and partner in patient-led progress.
We look forward to seeing the WECAN Foundation thrive in this new chapter—and to continuing our close collaboration for the benefit of cancer patients across Europe.
