In order to improve the quality of life and the well-being of patients, the Ministry of Health and the Yecla Association of Cancer Affected (AYAC) have signed an agreement that will allow support for patients with these pathologies and their families.

In particular, volunteer activities and psycho-social and social assistance will be carried out at the Virgen del Castillo de Yecla hospital.

This agreement also includes the support of volunteers who have suffered from this disease, which means sharing similar experiences that help the patient to feel understood.

The Association of Yecla of Cancer Affected emerged in 2013 in response to the existing demand for specialized personnel for the treatment and relief of people affected by cancer, as well as their families.
