At our awareness stand in Radeče, visitors can learn about gynaecological cancers, prevention, HPV vaccination and possible signs and symptoms. We will also share information for women already facing diagnosis and treatment. The activity is part of our Purple September campaign, with this year’s slogan “Take Care of Your Essential Parts” (“Poskrbi za svoje nepogrešljive kose”). Through 22 activities across Slovenia, we are encouraging women to take care of their health and speak openly about gynaecological cancers.
