Important Women’s Health Information


Last weekend I went to the Calahonda Health and Beauty Fair and got talking to the team at Clinica Medicare. They told me about a programme funded by the Breast Cancer Charity Positively Pink registered charity no G92860477 to allow all British women over the age of 17 to get a free 3D breast screening between July and October 2010 here on the Coast. This sounds like a fantastic scheme which we should all take advantage of. All you have to do is go to the El Oceano Hotel on Tuesdays at 10am and you will get a ticket to be taken to the Xanit hospital which qualifies you for the free scan.

They also asked me to remind all our members of the importance of regular smear tests for all women who have ever been sexually active. Don’t put it off because you’re embarrassed, the examination only takes a few minutes and could save your life.

Did you know?

Annual smear tests reduce your risk of Cervical Cancer by 92%

In the UK alone it is estimated to save 1000 lives each year

80-90% of abnormalities are detected through regular smear tests, and can be treated early to Prevent Cancer

Make sure you take care of your health and act to prevent illness with these simple steps.

To find out more please contact Clinica Medicare on 952 83 57 76 or email David at info@clinicamedicare.com “Remember that early detection is your protection”
