The Professional Territorial Health Community (CPTS) of Saint-Martin, supported by the Saint Martin Santé association, is mobilizing all stakeholders in the territory to raise awareness among as many people as possible in this month of Pink October 2023.
The CPTS, one of whose missions is the development of territorial prevention actions, has decided in partnership with Saint-Martin Santé and the Guadeloupe Committee, relay of the League Against Cancer, to coordinate the actions proposed throughout of October to raise awareness about breast cancer with the help of sports and cultural associations, businesses and institutions. With this in mind, a program was established so that the population felt involved and participated freely and actively in the various activities. Early detection of breast cancer means 100% chance of recovery. After a start given by the 22rd edition of the Back to School Strides organized by the Avenir Sportif Club in Galisbay this Sunday 1er October, Pink October continues this Wednesday, October 4 at 18 p.m. with a breast self-palpation workshop offered at the Up Rising social center of the Sèm Ta Route association in Quartier d'Orléans for all women aged 16 and over. This workshop will be led by Doctor Dandre from Lys Blanc and will take place in the association premises at Résidence La Palmeraie, door 1301 in Quartier d'Orléans (info 05 90 87 75 53). At the same time, the EDEIS Déco Team at Grand-Case airport, decorated for the occasion by the Soroptimist club, collected 250 goodie bags and will distribute them in the oncology department of the Hospital Center (every Tuesday and Wednesday of the month). The Workshop at Howell Center will also offer a haircut to all women with cancer. In addition to the plethora of actions and activities offered during a month, the grand closing of Pink October will be held on the 31st from the balcony of Dauphin Telecom in Marigot with a bra release. The operator, a great supporter of the cause, will donate part of its turnover for the week of October 23 to 28, 2023 to the League Against Cancer which will reserve all the donations collected for the territory of Saint-Martin.
