Mónica Alcazar Carriba

I started my career as a nurse in 2017 working in a pediatric ward, as well as in the outpatient department and the ambulatory care unit for chronic complex patients and at-home care. From 2018 until 2022, I worked in the Pediatric Oncology and Hematology Department. After the La Casa de Sofía intermediary healthcare facility was opened, I worked there until 2023. Currently I work in the Palliative Care and Chronic Complex Patient Department.
