The mayor José Ballesta and the president of FEDACE, Luciano Fernández, have presented the conference, focusing on the acute phase of acquired brain damage, at the Moneo Building.
José Ballesta: "Brain damage is a problem that is at the heart of Spanish society, since more than 100,000 cases are detected each year."
More than 3,000 Murcia a year suffer brain damage.
The mayor of Murcia, José Ballesta, together with the president of the Spanish Federation of Brain Injury (FEDACE), Luciano Fernández, the president of the Acquired Brain Injury Association of Murcia (DACEMUR), Isabel López, the Secretary General of Public Health of the Region Murcia, Andrés Torrent, and the director of FEDACE, Mar Barbero, today presented the inauguration of the Meeting for Brain Damage that commemorates the 25th anniversary of FEDACE.
FEDACE thus begins in Murcia the different meetings on brain damage that focus on the acute phase of brain damage in its five presentations, in which specialist doctors and affected people have participated.
"Brain damage is a problem that is at the heart of Spanish society, since more than 100,000 cases are detected per year," said José Ballesta.
Acquired brain damage, injuries that occur in the brain in a person who is born healthy, affect more than 3,000 Murcia a year, being the national cause of the first cause of death in women and the second in men.
Thus, associations such as Murcia DACEMUR (Association Acquired Brain Damage of Murcia) help people who suffer from these injuries to overcome and lead to sequelae, and also support families in order to improve their quality of life and social integration.
A saved life deserves to be lived
This is one of the mottos of FEDACE, which refers to the need to promote projects to help people suffering from brain damage, since in most cases the consequences make them disabled.
In addition, support and advice to families is of utmost importance.
Many caregivers, generally caregivers, of these people are forced to part with their work life to devote themselves fully to the care of their family member.
"All human beings inherently possess the right to dignity, it is something that is not modified by the capabilities or characteristics that can be had," said José Ballesta.
Gmp Foundation, another example of Murcian solidarity
The Gmp Foundation bases its mission in improving the living conditions of people with Down Syndrome and Acquired Brain Injury, and in promoting criteria and developing Corporate Social Responsibility strategies.
Today, the Foundation extends nationwide and is based in Madrid, but its origins were in the city of Murcia with the help of the City of Murcia.
