The project
Give Voice to your Choises
Presenza Amica ONLUS
in collaboration with
AVO Garbagnate M.se, Porta Aperta and La Lampada di Aladdin
present the Project
with the aim of providing maximum accessibility to Law 219/2017
on the subject of
Informed Consent and Advance Treatment Directives (DAT),
which underlines the centrality of communication between doctor and patient and establishes the right to self-determination.
In presenting this shared project, which arises from the comparison between several associations present in the territory, we want to promote the widest knowledge of DAT, which represent a powerful legal instrument: we have prepared a personalized Form that each citizen can fill out and which will allow us to identify and choose – today for tomorrow – what treatments we would like to receive in a hypothetical future moment of illness, of inability to understand and want, of inability to communicate.
In order for the choice to be truly free and informed, it is necessary to understand the terminology used by the legislation and therefore present in the Module, which we will present alongside a Glossary.
Starting a path that brings our attention to fundamental issues such as quality of life, the dignity of the person, the possibility of being heard, is a fundamental intermediate step:
the Conversation Parenthesis. The Will Cards ©ChiaraFrancescaCaraffa
represents the first moment of this journey towards awareness.
The freedom to choose is a precious gift: We will be by your side so that the DATs do not remain blank pages or remain closed in a drawer.
