International Breast Cancer Awareness Day

Early detection of breast cancer increases the chances of survival. That's why this year, we are again partnering with the Spanish Association Against Cancer to emphasise the importance of a self-breast exam. This is one check-in that should not be left until the last minute.

Pay attention to the following safety instructions and share them.
