For the first time, travellers, while waiting for departure and during the crossing to their destination, will be able to meet specialists in oncology genetics and breast cancer, dermatology, medicine, ophthalmology and clinical nutrition.
The ship, which will dock on Sunday morning at the port of Durazzo, in Albania, will host 400 people who will be able to use this service created by One Healthon, a foundation that operated with the support of the Aiom Foundation, the first project implemented in Italy with the aim to raise awareness among citizens, institutions, doctors and the media of the need to promote the well-being of the planet.
“Prevention and early diagnosis are the keys to defeating most diseases – says Rossana Berardi, president of One Health Foundation and Professor of Medical Oncology at the Polytechnic University of Marche -.
