I love to see royals getting involved in charities, groups and conferences that are health-related. They have a lot of influence, and are able to draw attention, just by their presence, to the need to support these initiatives.
Last week, Princess Victoria of Sweden and Princess Letizia of Spain attended two separate events benefiting women and people with autism, respectively.
On September 24, 2009, Princess Victoria inaugurated the new women’s clinic at the University Hospital MAS in Malmo, Sweden. The hospital provides medical services not just for residents of Malmo, but also for those in the southern region of Sweden as well.
On the same day, Princess Letizia opened the International Congress of Autism in Burgos, Spain. The meeting, which runs from September 24-26, 2009, aims to “raise social awareness of the reality of autism” and provide information on the latest in autism research, diagnosis and treatments.
