Romanian Association for Cancer Prevention (RACP) is a non-governmental and non-profit association, which was founded in January, 2002. It has nineteen charter members, who together with the Romanian Patriarchy have the aim to improve the social-medical services as follows:

	People's education regarding the illness phase, the early detection of cancer, patient's diagnosis, curing and tracing;
	The improvement of socio-medical (health) services in the rural area;
	Medical and social help for the families which have the individuals who cannot walk or be moved -  in these structures are included the patients in a terminal phase (far-gone) of an illness.

As a first step taken in this direction, through a Protocol with the  Bucharest Holy Archiepiscopate, RAPC is planning to develop these services through a pilot project, cost-efficient, which will help us detect more easily and accurately the real needs of the people.
