Pink October is coming, be a company that saves lives
This international movement goes beyond a simple campaign; it is a global mobilization that seeks to raise awareness and educate the population about the importance of prevention and early diagnosis of breast cancer, a disease that, when detected in time, has great chances of treatment and cure.
The "Women Friends in Pink October" action took place from October 1st to 31st in municipalities in Greater São Paulo and provided mammography and diagnostic ultrasound exams for 1,865 socially vulnerable women.
