Participants were provided with basic information on how to prevent this disease and detect any abnormalities, especially in sensitive areas that could lead to cancer.
Town Mayor Cesareo Benedito emphasized the importance of prioritizing health, not only for women but also for men, as it significantly impacts work and service to the community. He encouraged everyone to take the time for regular health check-ups to prevent unexpected illnesses.
