EXPATS MUST make themselves legal in Spain to access the health system and qualify for the support it offers residents, a charity’s annual summer fundraising lunch was told.
Irene Ellis MBE, President of Cancer Care Javea, and Jan Elders, President of HELP International Benidorm and Honorary Welfare Officer of the RAFA North Costa Blanca Branch, were united in stressing the need to ‘go legal’ at the Expatriate Ostomates of Spain (EOS) event.
And supported by EOS President Cynthia Robinson, they advised expats should complete all the paperwork to insure they were in the system before calling for assistance.
At the lunch in Restaurante Amenecer, Javea, Cynthia accepted a generous donation from Cancer Care and said it would be used to benefit ostomates across Spain requiring both physical and emotional support.
Irene explained how Cancer Care had embarked on a new project, fundraising to provide Denia Hospital with the latest equipment to diagnose cancer – making detection of the disease quicker and more accurate through genetic analyses.
