„Helping hands“ for discovering hands

Medical palpation examinations by our MTEs in Austria can be continued, thanks to Hilfsgemeinschaft der Blinden und Sehschwachen Österreichs (Austrian Association for the Blind and Partially Sighted)

We are very happy to share some good news: the breast cancer screening service in Austria has been preserved by the Austrian Association for the Blind and Partially Sighted (better know as Hilfsgemeinschaft) after the organisation ran into financial difficulties. 

„The proven and meaningful activities of MTE will be repositioned and continued and further developed within the framework of our organisation. To this end, some of the staff from discovering hands will be employed by the aid organisation and we look forward to being able to make this important work available to the general public again. We don't want to lose this valuable initiative," explains Klaus Höckner from the Management Board of Hilfsgemeinschaft.
