4/ LIVE(RO)4 SVO, with the University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova: 18,760 people informed, 15,008 free rapid tests for hepatitis B and C, across five counties of southern Romania, through 2029.
Liver cancer is one of the few cancers where medicine already has what it needs. Hepatitis B has a vaccine. Hepatitis C has a cure.
What is missing is the diagnosis. Chronic liver disease runs for years without symptoms.
So we test. 15,008 free rapid tests, five counties.
3/ And it specifies who it is for — at-risk and underserved populations, reached through awareness campaigns and non-invasive diagnostic tools. Infections cause over 7% of all cancer cases in the EU. #EUHealth
5/ That is our work. ROCCAS 4 SVO, with the University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova: 31,575 people aged 50-74 in vulnerable communities, 25,260 free colorectal screening tests, five counties of southern Romania, through 2029.
The EU aimed to offer breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screening to 90% of the eligible population by 2025.
It missed. In places, participation is falling.
Parliament's health committee now calls for urgent action. We run the part that is missing: outreach.
4/ Paragraph 27b goes further: EU-funded cancer communication should be designed with local community organisations and delivered through trusted community channels — not only institutional websites and traditional media. #EUHealth
5/ Employers, local authorities and NGOs working on green skills in less developed EU regions — we are happy to compare notes: [email protected]#EUFunding
We asked employers in Dolj County, Romania what skills they cannot find. They named 71 positions requiring green economy competences. Then we asked residents: 164 want exactly that training. The supply in between did not exist. So we built it. https://t.co/jvhAsDrMt6
4/ Alongside it: an accredited retail qualification (360h), digital skills (80h), and anti-discrimination competences for the workplace (80h). 310 people, budget €0 own contribution — fully EU-funded until 2028.
We just joined https://t.co/Gj3gaRsG71, a European-built social platform: data under EU jurisdiction, transparent algorithm, fact-checking built into posts. Not leaving anywhere. But a European alternative only becomes viable if European organisations actually use it. https://t.co/aOGf75TL0g
2/ We are an NGO that has implemented EU-funded projects for over 20 years and hosts a Europe Direct centre. Talking about European digital autonomy while using nothing European felt like a gap worth closing.
5/ Running a rural community, a school or an SME in Dolj county and need these skills? We organise groups on request: [email protected]
Co-funded by the EU through Interreg VI-A Romania–Bulgaria (ROBG00226). #EUFunding
Vocational training rarely reaches rural communities — because people can't reach the training.
So we brought it to them. First entrepreneurship courses under #Interreg project INES, delivered in Daneți, Dolj county. 🇷🇴🇧🇬
