ABOUT Κ3
Our goal at (K3) the Guidance Centre for cancer patients is to assist every person in all aspects of their disease and to improve living conditions by providing any necessary assistance and service for both the patient and their families with an open and honourable approach.
In collaboration with fellow associations in the private sector, civil services, non profit organizations and other solidarity groups, K3 has managed to create a website which acts as a guide concerning the rights and benefits of those who are ill and which will be constantly updated.
Our goal is to gather all useful Information on one website. For the benefit of both former cancer patients and those still fighting the battle. Reporting all actions and measures put into effect which pertain to them in a simple and comprehensive manner.
Our priority is the accessibility of our fellow citizens to advantageous regulations of the current legislation and the utilization of facilities and services which operate for this purpose throughout Greece.
The Guidance Centre for cancer patients all began from an idea which matured and flourished about two years later in March of 2020. This idea becomes practice daily thanks to the support and joint effort of all those who are involved.
The center’s team is comprised of experienced professionals( doctors,economists, lawyers, executive health care providers, computer engineers and IT technicians,cultural and sport executives). We are supported by administrative staff and volunteers,who all share the same goals and a common vision.
All of us here at K3 focus our strength on those who are ill or have been ill in the past from cancer and our driving force is none other than the conviction that patients need to be privy to information when needed.
Our long term goal is the improvement of patients quality of life. Furthermore, the creation of new prospects for their social integration, protection and employment through the appropriate planning, coordination and the implementation of corresponding efforts.
OUR DRIVING FORCE:
Our faith in Human.
I BELIEVE:
Nothing good ever came from comfort zones.
TEAM BINDING:
Our Experiential experiences led to an experiential commitment to the K3 vision, they created innovative and flexible ways of thinking and people who support each other.
From day one of the patient’s diagnosis we provide communication and support and are involved in all stages of their treatment and thereafter, their reintegration back into daily life.
Our team receives patients and their families requests and evaluates the amount of support that is needed.
The team advises and guides the patient and their close family members regarding benefits to which they are entitled to during their treatment, while encouraging the most effective use or services both in the public and private sector and above all protecting their personal data.
