[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In a pioneering move, the Regional Government of Andalusia has announced a significant investment of three million euros to launch a pilot project focused on supporting people suffering from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (THE A). This announcement, made during the Debate on the state of the Community in the Parliament of Andalusia, marks a step forward in the care and attention of people with this progressive neurological disease.
In this way, Andalusia is the first autonomy in Spain that allocates a budget item to assistants to ALS patients, a measure that represents an important advance in the care of people with this disease, which has a very significant impact on their autonomy and their quality of life. Similar measures are being studied in other autonomies, however Andalusia is the first to have approved a specific budget item for this purpose.
The role of the assistant to ALS patients
The main objective of the allocation of financial resources is the creation of the figure of the assistant to ALS patients. These assistants are dedicated to providing support and assistance to patients and their families, addressing the specific and daily needs that arise with this condition. This initiative reflects a deep understanding of the complex demands faced by ALS sufferers and their loved ones.
Political call not to veto the ALS Law
In addition to the announcement of this initiative, the president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, has made a political appeal to the Government of Spain, urging do not veto the processing of the ELA law national level. He argues that this law will provide an essential legal framework for the support of those affected by ALS, underscoring the need for empathy and support from all administrations.
Dependency management in Andalusia
The president of the Junta de Andalucía has also addressed the management of the Unit in the region, highlighting a significant expense of 2.000 million euros. This amount is 63% higher than the last socialist administration, reflecting the growing cost and demand in an aging society. In this context, Moreno has expressed his concern about the disparity in Government financing, comparing the situation in Andalusia with that of the Basque Country.
Commitment to improving services
The current administration has demanded significant improvements in dependency care in Andalusia. With a focus on ensuring that no Andalusian citizen waits to receive the benefit that corresponds to them, an increase in residential care places and an increase in the hourly price of the home help service has been achieved.
Andalusia's commitment to improving the quality of life of ALS sufferers and their families is an example of how the regional government can play a crucial role in supporting citizens with special needs. This investment and the creation of the figure of the ALS patient assistant not only provide direct support to those affected, but also establish a precedent for other regions and nations in the management of neurodegenerative diseases. With these measures, Andalusia is positioned at the forefront of care and support for people with critical dependency conditions.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
