Celebration of "Courage Day" with the participation of Sean Swarner
On 24 January, Santa Maria Hospital and the Institute of Molecular Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lisbon were visited by Sean Swarner, a young American who has survived two forms of cancer at the age of 13 and 16 and who has dedicated his life to climbing mountains and bringing hope to those fighting cancer.
This visit was part of the “Courage Day” initiative and aimed to celebrate the courage of all patients and health professionals who struggle against cancer, as well as to motivate researchers and medical students to advance their projects and experiences.
