New cancer support centre opens in Almuñecar with expanded local services

The local branch of the Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer has established its new base at Avenida de Andalucía number 3. This development allows individuals with oncological conditions and their families to receive personalised care without long journeys to Granada.

Additional therapies enhance patient experience

Psychological attention formed part of previous services. Now both physiotherapy and social work assistance also join the programme for both patients and their relatives. Organisers at the centre plan multiple training courses, workshops and prevention talks, with details to follow in coming months.

Community effort brings the project to life

Concepcion Garcia, local AECC president, addressed the attendees during the inauguration. She described the months of dedicated work driven by commitment to those affected by cancer. Garcia expressed great pride in the unity shown by residents of Almuñecar and La Herradura.

Focus still on accessibility and equality

The new initiative makes sure people in smaller communities receive the same high standard of individual support available in larger cities such as Madrid or Granada. Volunteers play a central role in all this, with around 40 active members contributing time and energy.

Calls grow for continued research progress

Speakers at the event stressed the need for greater investment in cancer research to meet ambitious targets. Aims include raising survival rates substantially by 2030 through scientific advances and community action.

Local backing strengthens future activities

Businesses and residents have long provided valuable assistance throughout the process. This collaboration helps create a space that functions as more than just premises, serving instead as a centre of hope and practical aid.

Future activities will build on existing strengths while introducing new resources. Anyone seeking information about available support can contact the AECC directly at the new location. This development represents an important step in making quality cancer care more reachable for families across the area.
