The Local Board of the Association Against Cancer incorporates a regional service of psychosocial attention (28/02/2018)

The Local Board of San Javier of the Spanish Association Against Cancer will now offer a psychosocial care service, in its new headquarters on Archena Street, 16 in San Javier with the aim of offering professional support in a personalized manner during the process of the disease to patients and relatives.

A team formed by a psychologist and a social worker will travel to San Javier every Wednesday from 09h to 14h to attend this new service that has a regional character and that includes the municipalities of Torre Pacheco, Los Alcázares, San Javier and San Pedro del Pinatar

Interested persons should call the regional telephone 968 28 45 88 from where a personal appointment will be made.

The new service, which completes the regional attention in different Local Boards of the Murcian geography, was presented this morning at the headquarters of the Association in San Javier, in an act that was attended by the Councilor of Sanidad de San Javier, Catalina Pérez, the president of the Board of San Javier, Antonio Cerezuela, the regional coordinator M.ª Ángeles Romero, the technicians who will work in San Javier, Víctor Romero and Toñi Galián, as well as representatives of different Boards of the region.

Víctor Romero, social worker, explained that this service is about providing global support throughout the disease process, with social support that covers both economic issues through different types of help or employment, and psychological support, starting with an interview in which the patient's demand is addressed as other related aspects that contribute to optimizing the personalized attention offered.

The people in charge of the Association will begin by spreading all the details of the service among the population working in a coordinated way with the Health Centers, so that the doctors can refer patients, as in the Los Arcos hospital.

They will also hold a training day on this service to all the local Boards of the Association of the Shire so they can act as transmitters and make it known in their municipalities.

This new service is part of one of the main objectives of the AECC: to improve the quality of life of the sick and their families that derives from its general mission, which is to fight against cancer, including research.

The regional Board contributed 750,000 euros last year to research, an area in which 38 million have been invested through the National Association, said the regional coordinator M. Angeles Romero who recalled that in the Region of Murcia 6500 new cases arise of cancer per year.

The Councilor for Health of the City of San Javier, Catalina Perez said that "it is comforting to know that in San Javier we have a professional team that can accompany us and help in these cases."

The mayor acknowledged the work of the Local Board and thanked its president Antonio Cerezuela for his work throughout the year with different awareness campaigns, his effort to raise funds with initiatives such as the Solidarity Race that this year will celebrate its sixth edition and preventive actions such as the breast cancer detection campaign that this year will be reconvened in the municipality, as confirmed by Antonio Cerezuela.
