Patients and Advocates
Ordinary people can make an extraordinary impact when they are driven to share their stories and fight for others. Drugwatch collaborates with patients and advocates who have had personal experiences with drugs and medical devices that drive them to spread awareness. Advocates have worked with Congress and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to strengthen regulations and sponsor bills and legislation to make drugs and medical devices safer.
Their testimonies before the FDA have influenced the agency to issue warnings about dangerous side effects and helped to get harmful medical devices off the market. The first-hand experience of advocates adds authenticity and personal authority to the site.
Drugwatch vets our advocates based on their personal experience and positive reputation. We verify personal stories and ensure that all medical information or diagnoses presented in these stories have been provided by a medical professional or evidence-based research.
Some of our patients and advocates also hold professional legal or medical degrees and belong to organizations that add to their credibility.
