Women Friends Campaign - March 2019

Held in honor of Women's Month, the action took place at the Tenda Atacado store in Vila Galvão - Guarulhos and provided mammography and diagnostic ultrasound exams for 440 socially vulnerable women. The "Women Friends" action was carried out with funds from Droga Raia's "Change Collection Program", Tenda Atacado's "Generous Change Program" and percentages from the sale of "Pink Products" sold by beauty companies Clinique, Jo Malone and La Mer in October 2018.

Thanks to the possibility of performing an ultrasound to clarify the diagnosis, there were no inconclusive tests (Bi-rads zero result).All the cases that required follow-up in 6 months (Bi-rads3), as well as the cases that required a biopsy (Bi-rads4and Bi-rads5) were referred to the Guarulhos Health Department, which followed up the patients and scheduled complementary tests via the regulatory system.

Campaign figures

  • Patients attended - 440
  • Mammographies - 439
  • Complements - 41
  • Ultrasonographies - 28
  • Referrals to specialist / biopsy - 11
