AT A GLANCE
Caracol Association, through its social clinic (ophthalmology, pediatrics, gynecology, dentistry, and psychological clinic), aims to improve the quality of healthcare and legal support services for people living in socio-economic hardship and without access to institutional healthcare in the Vicenza area. In other words, it seeks to complement local healthcare services and enhance the quality of life for marginalised individuals.
The project will be carried out in the three Vicenza neighbourhoods of interest: San Lazzaro, San Giuseppe and Ferrovieri, which are the ones where more migrants or disadvantaged people live. ALDA Italia APS is in charge of a communication campaign on social media to disseminate news about Caracol’s services, and of organising three events in these three neighbourhoods.
OBJECTIVES
The project aims at improving the clinic and at spreading information amongst possible beneficiaries about Caracol’s health services. Morevoer, the project seeks to involve new doctors to become volunteers and in general to educate the population about the right to health.
