Women Friends Action at TJCC

Made possible thanks to an unprecedented partnership between Américas Amigas, the Todos Juntos Contra o Câncer Movement and the pharmaceutical company Daiichi SankyoBrasil, the Mulheres Amigas initiative arrived at the TJCC in 2022. During the 7th Todos Juntos Contra o Câncer congress, women from the Real Park communities and outsourced employees of the WTC complex had access to free mammography tests. The initiative also allowed congress participants to visit the Mobile Unit and learn about the work carried out by Américas Amigas.

SPECIAL THANKS

Here's our well-deserved tribute to MerulaSteagall, creator of the Todos Juntos Contra o Câncer (All Together Against Cancer) movement, president and founder of the Brazilian Lymphoma Association (Abrale). Her tireless work to improve health conditions in our country was an example and an inspiration for our efforts and the certainty that together we can save many lives.
