The reception was held in the Office of the President of the Republic because the League is celebrating 20 years of activity this year and October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking about the reasons why the League was founded and its activities, the delegation told President Milanovi\u0107 that check-ups were the last thing on the minds of the residents of these islands and they often ended up in hospital when the tumours had already progressed. Thanks to the League\u2019s activity over the past 20 years, 31 thousand specialist check-ups were carried out among the residents. Each year approximately two thousand preventive check-ups on these islands are carried out in the organization of the Kor\u010dula-Pelje\u0161ac-Lastovo-Mljet Cancer League resulting in there being no waiting lists in that area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They went on to say that the so-called red referral slips are not necessary for these check-ups as the League foots the bill and the physicians are paid on a piecework basis. Thus island residents are given the opportunity to have a check-up at home without the need for a long drive to the hospital.&nbsp; According to the League president Niko Violi\u0107, \u201cthe Kor\u010dula-Pelje\u0161ac-Lastovo-Mljet Cancer League is the next best thing to the Pelje\u0161ac bridge on these islands because people in need of help were connected by a bridge of love, empathy and personal sacrifice\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They further said that up to 90 percent of the funds necessary are collected through various sales and participation in tourist and similar events, while just 10 percent are assured by local self-government units. Thanks to the League\u2019s commitment, medical equipment valued at more than five million kuna was purchased, and four mammography units were purchased for Dubrovnik-Neretva County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Milanovi\u0107 expressed support for the League\u2019s activity and to its members \u2013 more than five thousand of them \u2013 he expressed his gratitude for all they have done and are doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Kor\u010dula-Pelje\u0161ac-Lastovo-Mljet Cancer League delegation in addition to the president Niko Violi\u0107, were vice-president Dr. Seka Palini\u0107, member of the Presidency Dr. Berta Radovanovi\u0107, president of Pelje\u0161ac branch Marija \u0160undrica, president of Mljet branch Marija Sr\u0161en as well as League members Arminija \u0160eparovi\u0107, Meri Pejovi\u0107, Ante Mrgudi\u0107, Lenka Anti\u010devi\u0107, Du\u0161anka Roso and Snje\u017eana Holovka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attending the meeting alongside the President of the Republic was the Adviser to the President for Education Jadranka \u017darkovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n<!--GALLERY BLOCK-->\n<div class=\"c-lightbox-gallery js-lightbox\">\n                <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC_2206-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC_2206-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC_2226-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC_2226-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC_2233-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC_2233-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC_2236-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC_2236-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n        <\/div>\n<!--end GALLERY BLOCK-->\n\n\n\n<p>PHOTO: Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia \/ Filip Glas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 received today a delegation of the Kor\u010dula-Pelje\u0161ac-Lastovo-Mljet Cancer League, founded in 2002 to attend to the needs of the population of these islands in terms of preventive check-ups in the fight against tumours.
