What coordinadora nacional de artritis does

Coordinadora Nacional de Artritis (ConArtritis) is a Spanish non-profit patient advocacy organization established in 2004 and headquartered in Madrid. It serves as the national coordinator for a federated network of 14 local delegations and more than 10 regional member associations across Spain, representing people diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and spondyloarthritis. Its mission is to integrate and represent these patient associations before public administrations and healthcare managers to promote legislative and policy initiatives that improve social-labor integration and quality of life.

ConArtritis delivers its services through SAIPAR (a comprehensive support service launched in 2018 providing social therapy via phone, WhatsApp, and email), the Paciente Activo online training program (a 12-module course on rheumatoid arthritis self-management developed with OpenReuma), the Care+ mobile application (a free digital tool for immune-mediated inflammatory disease patients developed by Biocare and co-endorsed by Acción Psoriasis), a quarterly Revista ConArtritis magazine, mutual aid groups, and discounted psychological support. The organization also runs awareness campaigns (Octubre, Pensando en ti) and events including an annual solidarity race and national congress.

The organization is funded through a combination of public grants from the Ministry of Social Rights and Agenda 2030 (channeled via COCEMFE membership), pharmaceutical company sponsorships (Pfizer, Sanofi, Johnson & Johnson cited as funders), individual membership fees, and member association contributions. As a registered Spanish association (CIF G84188671), ConArtritis operates under a board of directors with no parent company or private equity ownership. Its distribution relies on direct in-person service through the delegation network, self-serve digital access via website and mobile app, and the SAIPAR remote support channel.
