Summary

The exercise of citizenship is tightly connected to the development of our societies. With respect to healthcare organisations, there has been a paradigm shift in the type of care offered, as it has changed from a paternalistic model to an autonomous one. In sickness and in health, exercising responsible citizenship concerns all of us: patients, professionals and politicians; that is to say, the whole citizenry.
