ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “Female health is a heritage to defend, for the well-being of all women and the community”. It is the Minister of Health, Orazio Schillaci, on the occasion of the National Day of Women’s Health, which is celebrated on April 22, established by the Foundation Athena Onlus and promoted by the Ministry of Health.
“This day – the Minister continues – helps us to light the spotlight and raise the attention to women’s health at all stages of life. As a government we have committed ourselves to fostering an increasingly personalized and appropriate approach to women’s health. We work to ensure, at every age, the best practices of care, assistance and, above all, prevention.”.
“Prevention, in particular, which we reported at the centre of the government agenda and investments, is the most effective tool to protect the future. Fundamental – continues Schillaci – are regular controls and, above all, oncologic screenings, which we have also strengthened thanks to the latest budget law by expanding age groups to access breast cancer screening. Always with the maneuver – the Minister continues – we have also extended genomic tests in cases of advanced or metastatic mammary carcinoma. With the update of Lea, new performance will be introduced, including active surveillance for women at inherited genetic risk of breast and ovary cancer. The attention to the health of women – the Minister concludes – is a commitment that we carry out on several fronts, with conviction, for a full protection of women’s well-being throughout the lifetime.”.
