The Association of Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension was founded in 2014. It is an independent, non-governmental, non-patrimonial association that is representative at the national level.

The primary objective of the Association is to support Romanian patients with pulmonary hypertension in their interactions with public authorities and other organisations. This ensures they have the best possible access to early diagnosis, adequate treatment, specialised medical care, social protection, and integration into society.

The association’s main objectives are to support, educate, and inform patients with pulmonary hypertension, as well as to protect their rights and interests.

Since 2018, the Association of Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension has been a member of both the Coalition of Patient Organisations with Chronic Diseases in Romania (COPAC) and the European Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA Europe).
