In Latvia, cancer is the second leading cause of death, and patient organizations highlight insufficient funding. Tomorrow a branch of the 'Par Dzīvot' society will open in Daugavpils, prompting a discussion on LSM Latgale's program 'Local Question'.
Cancer is the second most common cause of death in Latvia, and oncology patient societies and organizations frequently point to a lack of funding in this field. The issue is particularly pressing in regions like Latgale.
Tomorrow, June 12, a new support center for cancer patients will officially open its doors in Daugavpils – a branch of the society 'Par Dzīvot'. This public organization provides emotional and practical assistance to people diagnosed with cancer.
This event has become the impetus for a conversation on LSM Latgale's program 'Local Question'. The program focuses on the oncology situation in Latgale, discussing both access to treatment and the importance of psychological support for patients who have received a serious diagnosis. Experts and patients participate in the discussion to highlight current problems and seek solutions.
