The Italian Alliance for Sustainable Development (ASviS) will host an online event on February 10 in which the younger generation will discuss and evaluate the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) that the country is preparing to approve. Italy will have to implement the Next generation Eu program, launched by the European Union to combat the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic and to make the Union more sustainable, resilient and just.
Active Citizenship Network is delighted to invite you to “Making sustainability an easy choice for EU citizens”, a digital conference during which will be presented the informal Inter-institutional Group “SDGs for well-being and consumers’ protection”, promoted by Cittadinanzattiva through its EU branch ActiveCitizenship Network (ACN), the European Consumers Union (ECU) and the Italian Alliance for Sustainable Development (ASviS).
Active Citizenship Network has decided to extend to the 30 of April 2021 the deadline for the collection of good practices against pain, cancer and not cancer related. The third edition of the Prize allows us to continuing expanding the “agora” of operators of good practices on pain, encouraging the exchange of experiences among health professionals, healthcare providers, Institutions, civic associations, and patient advocacy groups.
Invited by DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, since January 2020, Cittadinanzattiva trought its EU branch Active Citizenship Network has been officially recognized as an Ambassador of the European Pillar of Social Rights, a vital instrument to achieve social justice and equality in the EU. Our role is to support communication initiatives to spread the 20 principles of the Pillar and the importance of a social European dimension. At the European level, chronic pain has a major impact on workforce participants and productivity and is not adequately acknowledged nor addressed. In this context, one of our main interest is to develop the topic of chronic pain in the context of the European Pillar of Social Rights, with particular attention to the need of citizens suffering of (low) back pain.
Along the 2020, Active Citizenship Network published several article on international peer review journals, healthcare specialized media and generalist journal. In details:
In the framework of the EU project Increasing consciousness and access to treatment, reducing the burden of cardiovascular diseases across Europe, the training seminars addressed to the leaders of civic and patients associations also dealt with the issue of pain manifestations in patients with CVDs.
Along the 2020, Active Citizenship Network signed several Memorandum of Understanding with the following associations:
The webinar organized last December was aimed above all at general practitioners in order to spread the knowledge of Law 38 of 2010, “Provisions to guarantee access to palliative care and pain therapy”, with the unconditional contribution of Grunenthal. The general practitioner is the first person, in the health sector, with whom we relate when we need care and is also the fundamental link between the specialist and the patient. We do not want the right to avoid unnecessary pain and suffering to become a rearguard battle, penalizing the quality of life of those who already have a pathology, making the condition heavier and unbearable, depriving the person of a perspective and a project of life. Even today, despite ten years have passed since its emanation, it is little known. It is necessary to fill this knowledge and information gap and restore the central role in the treatment path to the relationship between doctor and patient and the awareness that healthcare professional and person who is ill / in need of care / patient are both undisputed protagonists of the care path.
Last November, experts in the field, including Cittadinanzattiva, discussed the state of the art of Law 38: the rights of patients to not suffer, the services provided, the methods of access to the centers and the problems that remained open.
On 5 November 2020, the data of the monitoring conducted in Italy by Cittadinanzattiva on law 38/2010 were presented. Ten years after Law 38/2010 which regulates access to palliative care and pain therapy, how well do citizens know the contents of the law and their rights?
