“I want to thank everyone who was involved in organizing these conferences and for giving us this opportunity by bringing them to Bragança. This is the twenty-first session; we can’t think of it as the first, and therefore we have to address this issue, and you will have to come back – Bragança will have to be one of the cities that repeats this event. And if there’s one thing we can promise, it’s that you will always have a huge and interested audience, as we have today. […] It’s important to bring this up, and it’s important to talk – as Professor Sobrinho Simões said earlier – we need to talk and bring this training to people.”

– Adília Fernandes, Director of the Higher School of Health, Polytechnic Institute of Bragança, in her testimony at the third session of “Tratar o cancro por tu”
