A little over a year ago in September 2023, the Oléa health center inaugurated its premises in the town.
To mark Pink October, it was under the leadership of Laurent Bonnet, coordinator, that a real shock team took over, for a day, the various free premises to offer, alongside the five permanent practitioners, a day dedicated to the health of women.
Various health issues addressed
Under the catchy slogan “1 hour 2 your time, 3 screenings”, a dozen providers were mobilized to receive women contacted for the most part by Health Insurance, in the area covered by the health center (Bezouce, Saint-Gervasy and Lédenon) to facilitate access to several preventive examinations directly or by making an appointment.
The tour of the different workshops also made it possible, during interviews, to become aware of regular practices (palpations), new measures (contact with a digital space “My health space” to carry out personal monitoring), to carry out tests of predisposition (on a silent disease type 2 diabetes), on ignored diseases, to detect addictive behaviors, to carry out a smear with midwives or even to obtain a screening test for colorectal cancer.
This first one-off operation will be subject to possible follow-up using the health center’s own resources (at 3 or 6 months) to measure the positive effects, or even improve the system tested.
At the end of a busy day, nearly a hundred patients were able to follow the entire course.
