As a way to summarize the activities involved in commemorating and raising awareness about breast cancer, a prevention day regarding said pathology was held this Wednesday morning.
It was coordinated by the Health Secretariat of the Municipality of Concordia in conjunction with the Faculty of Life and Health Sciences of UADER and the Argentine League Against Cancer (LALCEC).
Thus, in front of the Municipal Palace, different types of check-ups were carried out, such as blood pressure, weight, height, CPR workshop, and vaccination.
In this regard, the Director of Primary Health Care, Karina Greco, stressed that this year's motto focused on “don't study yourself halfway,” where the health department encouraged residents to undergo complete studies, both mammograms and ultrasounds.
“During the month of October, different awareness and prevention talks were held in all Health Centers. We try to ensure that everyone knows what a breast self-examination is, which women under 40 can already do to promote individual care,” added Greco.
Finally, she stressed that the closing premise aimed at “uniting to raise awareness about the importance of annual check-ups starting at age 40, remembering that early detection can save lives. Today's prevention is tomorrow's hope.”
