The façade of the Legislative Assembly of the Autonomous Region of Madeira will be lit up in pink on the evening of Friday, 30 October, National Breast Cancer Prevention Day.
The initiative is part of the "Pink October" campaign, promoted each year by the Madeira Regional Branch of the Portuguese League Against Cancer, which the parliament is again supporting. The gesture aims to raise awareness of prevention and early diagnosis.
According to the Assembly's statement, mobilising institutions and the community is essential to reduce inequalities in access to care and to put health at the centre of public policy.
