New vehicle to improve social and health services in Abruzzo

In Guardiagrele and surrounding areas, social-health transportation is a vital service for lonely elderly people and people with disabilities. Moving for medical appointments, receiving medications at home or having access to groceries can be a complex challenge. For this reason, we have decided to contribute to the purchase of a new vehicle for the Guardiagrele Territorial Unit of the Italian Red Cross, with the aim of improving the quality of services offered. The Chieti Local Committee of the Italian Red Cross, thanks to the dedication of its volunteers, offers concrete support to the community, responding to the needs of the most fragile people and ensuring essential transportation and home delivery services. The new vehicle will not only enable more efficient transportation for the elderly and people with disabilities to the province's hospital facilities, but will also enhance the home delivery service of medicines and basic necessities. In addition, it will be essential for the timely transport of biological samples from the Collection Point of the former Guardiagrele Hospital to the Chieti Hospital, thus ensuring a quick and safe health service for the local community. With this contribution, we want to ensure that the Chieti Local Committee of the Italian Red Cross can continue to do its valuable work, strengthening its ties with the local area and supporting those who need it most. An important step toward improving the quality of life for many people.
