Scafati is preparing to host a key conference on palliative care, titled "Palliative Care: Why It's Important to Know, Promote, and Disseminate It." The event, sponsored by AVO (Association of Hospital Volunteers) Scafati Odv, will be held on Friday, September 26, starting at 4:00 PM in the Sala Don Bosco, Piazza Vittorio Veneto.
Exceptional speakers will lead the discussion, including Dr. Rosaria Lombardi, a palliative oncologist; Gennaro Di Paola, a nurse expert in home care; and Maria Rosaria Flauto, president of Avo Noi per Te. The proceedings, moderated by Professor Giovanni Savarese, a history professor at the University of Salerno, will open with greetings from Avo President. Scafati, Elisabetta Russo, and will see the participation of local civil and religious authorities, including the bishop of Nola, Monsignor Francesco Marino, and the mayor of Scafati, Pasquale Aliberti.
The initiative aims to shed light on a crucial issue: palliative care is not limited to the terminal phase of illness, but is also an essential tool for alleviating pain, addressing complex symptoms, and providing psychological, social, and spiritual support to patients and their families. The goal is to ensure the best possible quality of life even when the disease cannot be cured with traditional medicine, thanks to collaboration between doctors, volunteers, and experts in the field.
