“First of all, thank you very much for your presence, it is a great pleasure. Obviously, we manage our School of Health in a way that our concern is… health, so it makes perfect sense and it is with great pleasure and usefulness that we welcome you, because we are aware that we are a Higher Education Institution and, in addition to training, we must contribute to literacy and the dissemination of knowledge. We appreciate the opportunity to have specialists in this matter – which is very frightening – and for them to have this direct and calm way of approaching it, which is very important.”

– José Luís de Sousa, Pro-President of the Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal, in testimony at the fourth session of “Tratar o cancro por tu”
