Ibiza and Formentera Against Cancer Association
The Ibiza and Formentera Against Cancer Association (IFCC) has been working for 25 years to support patients and families in the Pityusic Islands during cancer treatment, as well as providing medical equipment, leaflets and funding for travel and treatment outside the islands.
This year, IFCC, in collaboration with Santa Eulària des Riu Town Council, has launched a pilot project called Hospice, an accompaniment service aimed at people with cancer in the final stage of life and their families. It is offered free of charge to cancer patients in the municipality with a life expectancy of less than twelve months.
In 2025, the Association funded a new car for the Palliative Care Unit, as well as 46 new armchairs and new side tables for the oncology day hospital waiting room and the radiology room. IFCC is also continuing to promote a new campaign across island society to strengthen colon cancer screening, with the aim of improving the participation rate, which in 2024 was only 28%.
In recent years, the Ibiza and Formentera Against Cancer Association (IFCC) has donated reclining armchairs for Oncology patients at Can Misses Hospital, as well as televisions and headphones for the chemotherapy room at this reference hospital for Ibiza and Formentera.
Thanks to donations from its many members and the charity events it organises, IFCC has also funded the decoration of both the oncology nursing consultation room and the Palliative Care Unit consultation room, the purchase of an endoscope for Formentera Hospital, the launch of a colon cancer and lymphoedema screening project in the Pityusic Islands, and several vehicles for the Palliative Care Unit.
