The Institut Pasteur de Dakar organised yesterday, Thursday 24 October 2024, a fine Masterclass session to raise staff awareness of 𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐞́𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐬, around the theme:  ‘It’s time to make a difference’.

It was also an opportunity to present fifty free cervical screening vouchers to the Senegalese league against cancer (LISCA), represented by its president, Dr fatma guenoune. These screening vouchers will be valid until December 2024.

This initiative is part of the IPD’s calendar of activities for October, a month devoted to raising awareness of the issue of breast cancer, as part of the ‘Women and Scientific Careers’ project, an IPD programme, and in collaboration with the Amicale des Femmes de l’Institut Pasteur de Dakar and Laboratoire de Biologie Médicale.

We remain mobilised on a daily basis against women’s cancers in Africa and around the world!
