Auxiliary Ship Pará

In another Civic and Social Action (ACiSo), from 8 to 24 May, the Auxiliary Ship Pará, of the Brazilian Navy, provided assistance to the inhabitants of Ajuruxi, Ariramba, among other communities with difficult access in the state of Macapá. During the action, 100 mammography exams were performed, with one referral for biopsy and one case of breast cancer diagnosed.

This and other actions have been made possible through the two mammography devices donated by AméricasAmigas to the Brazilian Navy Ships (Auxiliary Ship Pará and Ship Montenegro) that provide medical care to the riverside populations of Amazonas and Pará.
