Kick-off of telemedicine counseling
Kick off of the new telemedicine counseling service kicks off, offered for the very first time by a patient association. Strengthening the bond between doctor and patient through innovation: this is the goal of this project born from the collaboration between the patient association Acto Lombardia, the local Health Agency in Lecco, and Abmedica, a leading company in the healthcare sector that provides advanced IT solutions and telemedicine systems for hospital-territory integration. The initiative responds to the need to never leave women affected by gynecological cancer alone, offering them a direct channel to consult with experts on clinical, psychological, and relational matters. Patients will interact with a multidisciplinary HCP team.
