SUMMARY OF SOME ACTIVITIES OF THE AGL ASSOCIATION HELD DURING THE FIRST MONTHS OF 2022

On the occasion of Lymphoedema Day, March 6th, the Health Areas of Santiago, Ourense, Lugo, and Vigo projected our video on the screens in the waiting rooms of the different hospitals, to raise awareness of lymphoedema.

Thanks to the Provincial Councils of Pontevedra, Ourense, and A Coruña, visibility was given to Lymphedema Day by illuminating their official building in blue at night throughout the weekend.

An online conference was held at the University of A Coruña on "Healthy Living in the presence of Lymphoedema".

On account of the celebration of World Health Day, Ourense Hospital organized an event to give visibility to patient associations of different pathologies. 

In the photo, Dr. Félix Rubial (Manager of the Health Area), Dr. Gracia Perfecta (Vascular Surgery), and Celsa Perdiz (Head of Social Work) accompany members of AGL in the photo. We also thank Belén Piñeiro, head of the Humanization Area, for her collaboration.

The AGL Association is once again present, after the temporary closure due to Covid, in the premises reserved for patients' representative bodies in the different hospitals and is once again participating in the meetings of the Advisory Councils of the different Health Areas of Galicia.

The AGL Association regularly participates in COGAMI projects and assemblies.
