Lombardy Region awarded for achievements in psycho-oncology: recognition collected by Silvana Snider
“I am grateful for the invitation and for the prestigious recognition for the contributions made within the intergroup for the Protection of the rights of oncology and onco-haematological patients by the Lombardy Region, work chaired by the Lega colleague Gigliola Spelzini – to which the award I received is destined – which has allowed us to reach considerable goals in care and assistance. The occasion was precious to present the projects and results of the regional intergroup, among which the latest one achieved with the development of the Psycho-Oncology in the diagnostic-therapeutic pathways of our Regional Health Service”.
“Thanks, in fact, to the work of the inter-council group, the motion was approved in the Lombardy Regional Council to commit the Fontana Council to provide specialized training courses in clinical psycho-oncology, with a specific focus on the topic of communicating the diagnosis to patients. The development of interventions and psychotherapy and psycho-oncology projects aimed at training volunteers and creating strategies, also for the subsequent management of the disease and support for families as the emotional implications involve all the relatives of the patients. The occasion was also useful to compliment the great work done by the intergroup, from Anna Mancuso president of "Women's Health ODV" and to thank all the volunteers and associations involved. As the Lombardy Region, we continue our commitment to listening and providing support between institutions, associations, healthcare workers and patients"
Thus Silvana Snider regional councilor of the League, member of the oncology intergroup, present on December 10th in Rome, with the Minister of Health Horace Schillaci, to collect the award as substitute president of the colleague Gigliola Spelzini.
