Early last month, our Serbian member Ekumenska Humanitarna Organizacija (EHO), along with the Oncology Institute of Vojvodina, and the Center for Social Work Bački Petrovac held a one-day training on functional and psychological needs of oncological patients.

The training course saw the participation of social workers from EHO and the Center for Social Work Bački Petrovac, and it was chaired by Prof. dr. Svetlana Popovic Petrovic and dr. Ivana Novakov, master therapist.

The participants considered the training a relevant opportunity for determining the structural development of the social worker-patient relationship, and a step forward in improving the quality of life of cancer patients.

Our member EHO currently provides services to cancer patients through the Green Ladies and Cancer Info project in the Vojvodina region.
