A.I.P.A. Pescara is the local section of the Associazione Italiana Pazienti Anticoagulati, a volunteer association founded in Padua in 1987 by patients and doctors. It supports people receiving oral anticoagulant therapy (TAO), helping them manage the challenges of living with conditions that may place them at risk. The association’s stated aim is to provide appropriate, specialised medical and psychological support, while promoting initiatives that educate and raise awareness and help improve patients’ quality of life.

TAO is used preventively for people with conditions or histories including atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke, heart attack, and heart valve replacement. A.I.P.A. Pescara invites anticoagulated patients to join and offers a local point of contact at Pescara Civil Hospital. The section also encourages supporters to contribute through Italy’s five-per-thousand tax allocation, which does not add a cost to the taxpayer. Visitors can find contact details, opening hours, and a gallery on the association’s website, as well as links to its Facebook page.
