ICC COLUMN: The Voice of the Patient


Three One Five: a global consumer movement

Lawrence Grouse

Abstract

During 2014 and 2015, ICC will be promoting patient consumerism through the Three One Five Initiative. San Yao Wu (3 1 5 in Chinese, which refers to March 15) is a global pro-patient and pro-consumer movement. It is highly active all over China and has been active for many years. People can consult with San Yao Wu to see their assessment of what products are unsafe. Due to the booming economy in China, some merchants seek the biggest profit and neglect consumers’ health and rights and having a group that asserts consumers’ rights is necessary. Consumers’ rights activities are needed throughout the world!
