Rachele D’Andrea and Marcello Luca Marasco have talked and exchanged projects for several time until the evening of February 22 when they put, black on white, their signatures for a protocol between the Pink Pratola Association and AbeOS osteopathy school. A lot if you think about the thickness of the respective penetration in the social medicine, in the oncology the women of the “Pink”, in the osteopathy the community of practice AbeOS. A lot if you think about the numbers that the two institution move. A lot if you think about the ambitions of the two associations. And now what will happen and emerge from this agreement? Meanwhile, what happened was that neither the left-wing administrations nor the right-wing administrations have managed to do in the last five years: bring osteopathy to Pratola Peligna town, especially for those who need it but can not afford it, with particular attention to cancer patients. A primary goal will be the osteopathic assistance to the persons who are not simply affected by a tumor. Fragile people, even on a psycho-social level. The students of the school AbeOS in Raiano, assisted by highly experienced clinical tutors, will be involved in the treatments. Another goal will be the development of osteopathic scientific research in the field of oncology, here the first actor will be the Department of Research of AbeOS which is led by Dr. Federica Aielli, oncologist and by Dr. Angelo Del Vecchio, doctor and osteopath. The W.H.O. has long ago ordered its member states to integrate osteopathic medicine into their health systems, the institutions have not yet succeeded, the social territory takes a first step throught AbeOS and Pink Pratola. The satisfaction of Rachele D’Andrea and Marcello Luca Marasco for the real and concrete political activity carried out in favor of the citizen is evident. Pink Pratola and AbeOS take a huge step in that direction, and we know that the institutions in the transition from chatter to concrete actions of “polis”, or of evolution for the citizen, are often highly deficient. Stay tuned, we’ll see some good ones.
