The Tunisian government is launching a national campaign to promote early breast cancer screening, dubbed "Octobre rose," on September 30 at 9:00 AM on Habib Bourguiba Avenue in Tunis. The campaign, led by the Ministry of Health, aims to raise awareness about the importance of breast cancer prevention and early detection. The event is organized by the National Office for Family and Population (ONFP) in partnership with several national structures and civil society organizations.
The campaign seeks to encourage women to take advantage of screening and medical follow-up services. According to the ONFP, the initiative includes awareness-raising and information activities, as well as early screening consultations provided by medical teams and health education from regional delegations of the Office in Greater Tunis. The goal is to promote early detection and timely treatment of breast cancer.
A mobile clinic, "Mammolife," will participate in the operation, providing mobile screening units that offer mammography exams and bringing screening services closer to women. This effort is part of Tunisia's national strategy to strengthen breast cancer prevention and early detection, improve health information, and increase access to screening services.
The campaign is a collaborative effort between national and international partners. The ONFP is working with several national structures and civil society organizations to promote the importance of breast cancer screening. The involvement of international partners is expected to enhance the campaign's reach and impact.
