The Councilor for Infrastructure, Public Works and Services, Rebeca Pérez visited the morning clinic center of the Virgen de la Arrixaca University Hospital with the hospital's manager, Ángel Baeza Alcaraz, and members of the oncology and Rotaract Murcia team.

This visit has aimed to deliver some anti-stress balls to the hospital's oncology patients.

This project arises thanks to the collaboration between Rotarac Murcia and the Hospital Clínico Universitario Virgen de la Arrixaca.

"The goal is to improve waiting for patients. With the slogan 'If you squeeze vences' has been made the donation of 1,000 rubber balls, seeking to help reduce the level of stress of people who have to visit the hospital" commented Rebeca Pérez

According to hospital data, from October 2016 to October 2017, 11,841 patients have passed.

Attending each day an average of 60 people with a minimum duration of 5 hours.

Other collaborations by Rotaract Murcia

Rotaract Murcia maintains a close collaboration with the university clinical hospital Virgen de la Arrixaca, either through annual projects or others such as the case of 'Pincelhadas' in the day hospital.

This last project is aimed at increasing aspects of comfort and humanization, and is divided into two phases.

The first, already made, 'Windows to the World' with the installation of vinyls on the 4th floor - treatment rooms - that imitates windows open to various landscapes, to achieve greater patient welfare.

And the second, in which performances will take place in the waiting room of the 3rd floor, turning it into a natural space with scenery of a forest and various green areas, with the aim of getting a friendlier hospital.

In addition to these projects during the year 2018, the club has carried out different activities for various collectives such as the solidary ballpoint pen #JuntosTEAy help for ABAMUR, the film festival with children from different collectives, hospices and associations, Navicena with the aim of preparing menus for Christmas Eve for families without resources and at risk of exclusion and Naturact aimed at children so they can know nature through a visit to Terra Natura.
