Background<\/span><\/h1>\n

Babespean arises from the program Vivir con Voz Propia (VVP)<\/a>, where a group of health professionals from the social and community sectors were promoting the movement VITORIA – GASTEIZ COMPASSIONATE CITY<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Babespean Association began in Vitoria – Gasteiz in May 2020 with the intention of improving the care of people with advanced disease who need palliative care in their own homes or in an Open Hospice-style<\/strong> care center, and to help the families of people living with advanced disease \u00a0during their process and through bereavement, as well as promoting training and research into palliative care. Members of the VVP team along with other interested professionals make up this new team: Babespean – La Casa del Cuidado (Care at Home\/ the house of care) \u00a0<\/p>\n\n
