The mobilization known as Pink October Day, organized by the Salvador City Hall, aims to raise awareness about breast and cervical cancer by offering a variety of free health services to women in the city this Saturday (24th).
According to the Municipal Health Secretariat (SMS), responsible for the initiative, the event will provide consultations and guidance with the goal of increasing access to prevention, early diagnosis, and monitoring of female health.
