A conference dedicated to the organ donation and transplantation<\/strong>, It was a moment of discussion that was widely and heartily attended, involving local administrators, health workers and citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For ANCI Lazio<\/strong> The Secretary General took part in the proceedings Luca Masi<\/strong>, spoke in the debate together with numerous mayors and administrators from the area. Among those present were Stefano Cecchi, <\/strong>Mayor of Marino and Veronica Felici<\/strong>, Mayor of Pomezia, members of the ANCI Lazio Executive, testifying to the Association's concrete focus on a topic of great social relevance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the meeting, the need to further strengthen the commitment of municipalities in promoting the culture of donation<\/strong>, through awareness-raising initiatives aimed at citizens. A work that mayors are already carrying out in the territories, but which - as has been stressed several times - is still not enough<\/strong> compared to the size of the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Particularly significant is the figure for the Lazio region, which records beyond 40% of opposition to donation<\/strong>, against a national average of around 25%<\/strong>. Numbers that clearly indicate the need to intensify information and awareness actions, starting with the fundamental role of local administrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abMunicipalities are the first point of proximity to citizens and also have an important cultural responsibility<\/em> - declared Luca Masi, Secretary General of ANCI Lazio -. Organ donation is an issue that requires constant work to inform, listen and raise awareness. Mayors are already doing a lot, but a further, shared effort is needed to reduce the level of opposition and build a more widespread and aware culture of donation<\/em>\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ANCI Lazio thus confirms its commitment to supporting local municipalities also on issues concerning public health and social responsibility, promoting opportunities for discussion and concrete initiatives to support local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n
