The Portuguese Association Against Leukemia (APCL) is tackling the challenges of equitable access to healthcare and innovative treatments for leukemia patients. The organization is developing a mobile app that will help patients manage their disease, track symptoms, and access important information. The app is currently in testing and is expected to be released to the public in April.
The APCL believes that location and socioeconomic status should not be barriers to accessing healthcare. The organization has a range of programs to support patients, including psychological, nutritional, and social support services, as well as physical and online activities. The APCL also offers temporary housing for patients who live far from treatment centers.
The APCL is committed to investing in scientific research and supporting innovative projects that improve treatment and quality of life for leukemia patients. The organization's efforts highlight the importance of equitable access to healthcare and the role of technology in improving patient outcomes.
