Association advocates subsidy for both parents of a child with cancer during complex phases

Público1 September 2026 at 09:34

An association advocates that both parents of a child with cancer should receive a subsidy during the most complex phases of the disease. The association considers that financial support is essential for families to adequately accompany their children during treatment.

In Portugal, approximately 400 new cases of pediatric cancer are diagnosed per year. These numbers highlight the need for support policies for families facing this reality.

The advocacy for this subsidy arises in the context of debates about the rights of caregivers of children with serious illnesses. The association argues that the current system does not adequately address the situation of both parents.
