STPO places bonds, words, listening, and presence at the heart of a comprehensive approach to cancer, for patients, their loved ones, and healthcare professionals.
01. Manifesto
Since 2017, STPO has brought together healthcare professionals, institutions, associations, and partners around developing psycho-oncology in Tunisia, while fostering scientific collaboration across Africa and the Francophone world.
Our vision
STPO champions a comprehensive approach to cancer, in which psychological, emotional, social, and relational dimensions are fully integrated into the care pathway.
Because a patient is first and foremost a person, we place bonds, words, listening, and presence at the heart of our commitment.
We also encourage collaboration among disciplines, patients, loved ones, associations, and healthcare professionals, to build a more human, more scientific, and more accessible psycho-oncology.
Giving people a voice and learning to hear it is already a way to begin caring.
