The agreement, signed at the Amposta Regional Hospital, aims to adapt health services to the specific needs of this group, promoting a person-centered approach. The signing ceremony was attended by the Mayor of Amposta and President of the Hospital's Board of Directors, Adam Tomàs, the President of Apasa, Mercè Barberà, and the new Managing Director, Carlos Tobar, among other authorities.
“"The agreement embodies the willingness to collaborate between two city references, emphasizing that when challenges are shared, they are easier to achieve."
The Hospital's Managing Director, Carlos Tobar, highlighted that the agreement “visualizes the hospital's values, such as humanization, proximity, and person-centered care.” Tobar confirmed that specific gynecology and ophthalmology consultations have already been implemented with adapted spaces and circuits to offer calmer and more appropriate care for this collective.
“"This agreement represents a step forward in improving the socio-sanitary quality of life for people with functional diversity."
Currently, Apasa serves 184 users, ranging from 4 years old to adulthood. The agreement plans to progressively expand collaboration to new specialties and areas of the hospital, as well as reinforce the training and awareness of healthcare professionals to ensure more respectful and tailored care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
