Hosted by MEP Heinz K. Becker (EPP, Austria)
Join the European Cancer Patient Coalition (ECPC) and Eurocarers as they present their White Paper on Informal Carers of People with Cancer. The White Paper highlights cancer carers’ vital role for our patients and health systems, role which is often thankless and characterised by vulnerability and strain. The launch event is an opportunity to assess the achievements and shortcomings of the current policy framework with regard to carers, and identify ways forward for a fairer society.
