Screening: The Women’s Heart Bus sets up in Marseille for 3 days | Positive vibes
A study conducted by Pr Claire Mounier-Véhier, co-founder ofActing for women’s hearts showed that 9 out of 10 women who traveled by bus had at least 2 cardiovascular risk factors.
Starting tomorrow, Tuesday October 18, 2022, in partnership with the Town Hall and all local health actors, the Women’s Heart Bus will settle on Mucem Esplanade J4 for 3 days of testing. After having crisscrossed 16 cities since its launch in 2021, this mobile screening and prevention operation is the largest ever carried out in France.
The Women’s Heart Bus and Health & Wellness Village
In addition to the despitation course, a Health & Well-Being village will be set up with numerous stands in free access for men and women from Marseille in order to obtain information on health and take part in awareness workshops ((nutrition, family planning, life-saving gestures, women’s words, respirology & stress management…).
More than 300 women have already registered for screenings, it is therefore no longer possible to reserve a slot. However, women are welcome on the site to get information and register on the waiting lists in case of withdrawal.
The screenings are carried out by health professionals in the territory with a preparatory work of two to three months to forge links with local actors and build a real effective prevention mesh. Before each step, they benefit from training dedicated to the specificities of women’s cardiovascular risk.
Moreover, the Primary Health Insurance Fund, solicited in each city, makes it possible to update the rights of certain women and to find them a general practitioner if necessary. It is also offered to women to benefit from health support services with the health examination centers of the National Health Insurance Fund.
A launch conference will be held on October 18 at 11 a.m. on the Bus du Cœur des Femmes site in the presence of: Michele RubirolaFirst Deputy Mayor of Marseille in charge of Health, Pr Claire Mounnier-Véhierco-founder of Acting for the Hearts of Women, Thierry Drilhonco-founder of Acting for the Hearts of Women and Professor Gabrielle Sarloncoordinating physician for the Marseille stage of the Women’s Heart Bus and Head of service at AP-HM.
