A few words about the Mobile Units<\/h3>\n

The first Mobile Information and Management Unit<\/strong> began operating at Theageneio<\/strong> Anticancer Hospital of Thessaloniki, one of the largest oncology hospitals in Northern Greece, in collaboration with the Research Laboratory \u201cCare of Adult Cancer Patients\u201d of the Department of Nursing at the International Hellenic University. There, K3 staff and volunteers process patient requests guided by the ideal of \u201cpersonalized care\u201d for oncology patients, as well as by fostering \u201ctrust between patients and healthcare professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Its successful course, along with research and regional mapping, led to the creation of the second Mobile Information and Management Unit<\/strong>. The mapping data and the field experience of Kapa3\u2019s staff guided us to the region of Thrace\u2014an area characterized by geographical particularities, population heterogeneity, and distance from centers of authority.<\/p>\n

The second unit operates in a specially designed space within the University General Hospital of Alexandroupolis<\/strong>. Its aim is to provide comprehensive information to patients and their families, ensuring equal access to healthcare structures, the assertion of their rights, and their social reintegration.<\/p>\n

Long-term goals of the Mobile Units<\/h3>\n
