The achievement of the objective set when the proposal began is close. At the moment, the Municipality reached 600 mammograms performed, about 500 ultrasounds and has already granted around 300 returns.
BIG RIVER.- The campaign was born in Breast Cancer Awareness Month and continues to this day. It seeks to perform 1,000 controls and 1,000 mammograms for women and diversities that do not have medical coverage.
In order to bring health closer to everyone, understanding that access to it is a right that must be guaranteed, and in order to promote a better quality of life, in this case, in women and diversities from Rio Grande do Sul, the Municipality launched in the month of October an ambitious testing campaign within the framework of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The objective that was set was to carry out 1000 controls and 1000 mammograms to women and diversities without medical coverage from 40 to 69 years of age, and to those under 40 years of age with risk factors.
Two months after its inception, “1000 Controls and 1000 Mammograms” has been a success, bringing the people of Rio Grande do Sul the possibility of having tests that are essential for taking care of their health, completely free of charge.
At the moment, 800 appointments have already been granted, 600 mammograms and about 500 ultrasounds have been performed. In addition, the respective return was made to 300 patients who accessed the controls. In this way, the achievement of the objective that was raised at the beginning is closer and closer.
It is recalled that the campaign is carried out by the Health ministries; of Women, Gender and Diversity; and of Social Development of the Municipality of the city.
