Kapa3 in the second half of March – Early April: Access, Innovation and Support

During the second half of March and the first days of April, Kapa3 continued to strengthen access to care for people living with cancer and their families, connecting innovation with meaningful, human-centred support.

Patient Rights

Recent changes in the distribution of high-cost medicines (FYK) through EOPYY and private pharmacies are reshaping how patients access their treatment. Kapa3 supports patients and caregivers by providing clear information, helping them navigate procedures more effectively and ensuring continuity of care.

Digital Health & Public Services

Digital governance in Greece is entering a new phase, with the mandatory acceptance of electronic documents by public sector bodies. The use of qualified electronic signatures and seals gives documents full legal validity, simplifying processes and significantly reducing bureaucracy for patients and healthcare professionals.

Actions & Events

Kapa3 actively participated in the 6th Nursing Two-Day Conference of Western Macedonia, focusing on the balance between technology and human connection in healthcare. The organisation highlighted the importance of patient navigation, digital health, and the voice of patients and caregivers in shaping a more accessible and human-centred care system.

In addition, through an interview on DION TV, Kapa3 emphasised the role of social support in practice, underlining that effective support goes beyond information — it includes guidance, understanding, and presence within a complex healthcare system. The discussion also introduced “Myrto”, the digital assistant being developed to support patients and caregivers in their daily needs.

Collaborations

Kapa3 joined the Hellenic Digital Health Cluster (HDHC), strengthening its connection with innovation, technology, and a growing network of organisations, businesses, and research institutions. This collaboration enhances opportunities for more coordinated, modern, and accessible healthcare services.

Awareness

On the occasion of World Social Work Day (March 27), the critical role of social workers in healthcare and oncology was highlighted. Despite their recognised importance, gaps and inequalities in social services continue to affect access to care, making the strengthening of community-based support essential.

Support Our Work

A new collection of handmade scarves, wraps, and shawls brings a touch of spring while supporting a meaningful cause. Created using techniques such as low immersion dyeing and botanical (eco) printing, each piece is unique.

Leaves, flowers, and natural dyes are imprinted on the fabrics, creating one-of-a-kind designs. From silk scarves made from Greek silk to lightweight wraps, each item combines elegance with authenticity.

With every purchase, you actively support Kapa3’s initiatives for people living with cancer and their families.

Kapa3 remains active, promoting support and accessibility in care — more updates are on the way.
