Fondazione ANT Italia ONLUS

Founded in 1978 by the oncologist Franco Pannuti, from 1985 to today the ANT Italia ONLUS Foundation - the largest non-profit organization for specialist home care for cancer patients and free prevention - has treated over 138,000 people in 11 Italian regions (Emilia-Romagna, Lombardy, Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Tuscany, Lazio, Marche, Campania, Basilicata, Puglia, Umbria - data updated to December 2017).
Every year 10,000 people are assisted in their homes with multi-disciplinary teams present in 31 provinces in 11 regions that ensure specialized hospital and social assistance care, with a global care of the cancer patient and his family.
There are a total of 539 professionals working for the Foundation (doctors, nurses, psychologists, nutritionists, physiotherapists, pharmacists, socio-health workers and officials) flanked by over 2,000 volunteers active in fundraising activities necessary to financially support the work of the doctors.
The support offered by ANT addresses all kinds of problems with a view to the "global well-being" of the patient.
Starting from 2015, ANT's home oncology care service enjoys the UNI EN ISO 9001: 2008 quality certificate and since 2018 the ISO: 9001: 2015 certification issued by the Certifying Body Globe s.r.l.
ANT Foundation is also strongly committed to cancer prevention, with early diagnosis projects of melanoma, thyroid, gynecological and mammary neoplasms.
Since the start of the projects in 2004, 220,000 patients have been examined free of charge in 88 Italian provinces (data updated to December 2019).
Prevention campaigns are implemented both in health facilities offered free of charge to ANT, in ANT clinics, and within the mobile clinic - Prevention BUS.
