(Drafting: Press-Communication Directorate). Deputy Rocío Abed (ANR-Alto Paraná), president of the Commission for Social Equity and Gender, announced that, this Tuesday 19, a public hearing will be held to address, with various sectors, two bills relating to the improvement in the treatment and recovery of people with breast and cervical cancer. The meeting will begin at 10:00 am, in the Communal Hall of the Lower House.

This is the bill “That modifies and expands Law 3331/07, which creates the National Program for the prevention, early detection and treatment of cervical and breast cancer”, and the “Of coverage of reconstructive surgery, as a consequence of a mastectomy due to oncological breast disease ”.

The public hearing is framed in the activities for the “International Day to Fight Breast Cancer”, which is celebrated every October 19.

It is worth explaining that the first project is related to the possibility of extending to the private sector health centers, the gratuitousness for carrying out early detection studies of breast cancer, and of the cervix.

The second document seeks to allow low-income patients who have defeated breast cancer to undergo reconstructive surgery at no cost, after evaluation to determine the type of comprehensive rehabilitation required, according to the guidelines established by the competent authority in this matter.
