Important donation by the Terni Host Lions Club, led by president Alessandra Robatto, to the child neuropsychiatry service of the Umbria 2 local health authority, coordinated by Professor Augusto Pasini.
The support went to the regional reference center for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Professor Pasini explained how the service is aimed at a group of users that, in fact, represents about 5% of the population, with an incidence that has increased significantly over the years. The regional ADHD center, active in the former Sim infanzia on Viale VIII Marzo, in Terni, is an operational reality in which numerous specialists, including Dr. Pilardi, Dr. Ascenzi and Dr. De Dominicis, follow hundreds of cases and welcome minors with their families, implementing international protocols based on tried and tested techniques.
The purchase of instruments useful for diagnoses is part of the services provided by Lions International as aid to the weakest groups but also as a stimulus to increase, by the regional health system, the resources to promote projects of proven usefulness and also for educational institutions in which minors can continue a correct educational placement.
It is also the intention of the Lions Clubs present in the regional territory to organize foundraising activities in the next lion year so that this excellent service in the Terni area receives the necessary support, budgetary continuity and attention from the public health sector.
