Pink arrived at the Santarém District Hospital on October 1st, marking the beginning of an initiative that runs throughout the month and aims to reinforce an essential message: prevention can make a difference.
Breast cancer impacts many lives – women, families, friends, and healthcare professionals.
Throughout this month, the ULS Lezíria, through its Breast Pathology Unit, joins the Pink October movement, promoting awareness about the importance of prevention, monitoring, and early diagnosis.
More than illuminating a building, we want to keep alive a message of hope, information, and care.
Because caring is also preventing.
