2nd year Medicine students carried out, during the month of October, health education activities linked to the Pink October campaign, which, this month, encouraged women to have an annual mammogram with the aim of detecting breast tumors early. The initiative is the result of a partnership with the Municipal Health Department, through the Sanitary District of Brotas.

Guided by Professor Maria Cristina Santana, from the Women's Health I discipline, the students interacted with patients from the Teaching-Care Clinic of the Bahiana, distributing information material, snacks and making expository presentations. The actions took place in the morning shift from Monday to Friday.
