Cuiabá will have preventative care, guidance on mammography and STI tests this Saturday

This Saturday (17th) Cuiabá is celebrating D-Day of Pink October, with free care at the 72 Family Health Units (USFs), from 8am to 5pm. No appointment necessary. The action offers prevention services and guidance on breast and cervical cancer.

Among the services offered are guidance on cervical cancer and collection of cytopathological examination, known as preventive, for patients aged 25 to 64, especially those who are late in screening.

Women who are undergoing cancer treatment or who have already undergone treatment will also be able to receive dental evaluation and self-care guidance. Identification will be carried out by the Oral Health teams and Community Health Agents.

The mobilization also includes Green October actions, a campaign to prevent Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). The units will reinforce the offer of rapid tests for syphilis and other STIs, as well as guidance on diagnosis, treatment and monitoring.

The teams will also encourage testing and treatment for syphilis during prenatal care, when necessary, and reinforce men's access to sexual and reproductive health services.
