The event brought together health professionals, patient organizations, and representatives of local authorities to discuss new perspectives on cancer treatment and survivorship.
Representing Kapa3, Evageli Bista, Head of Development and Operations, participated in the thematic panel “Psychosocial impacts on patients and their close environment” (19:15), delivering a talk on “Psychosocial challenges for patients and caregivers.”
Alongside Ms. Bista, the panel included insightful contributions from Dr. Maria Chaniotou, oncologist, and Ms. Eleni Papadopoulou, psychologist, who shared their professional experience and emphasized the importance of coordinated care and emotional support for people living with cancer.
Through her presentation, Ms. Bista underlined the crucial role of psychosocial support in empowering both patients and caregivers to navigate the emotional and practical challenges of cancer.
By participating in this inspiring event, Kapa3 reaffirmed its commitment to promoting solidarity, evidence-based knowledge, and holistic care as key pillars in the journey toward well-being and recovery.
