Meeting with the Ambassadors

Nearly 50 healthcare professionals, Ambassadors of Agir pour le Cœur des Femmes (Acting for Women's Hearts), met in Paris on December 14 to discuss our actions for 2023.

Meeting with the Ambassadors

With 1,053 local healthcare professionals volunteering on the #busducoeurdesfemmes stages this year, each stopover town has become an ecosystem focused on women's health. In 37 stages over the past two years, nearly 9,000 women have been screened. All the medical data collected will be analyzed as part of a National Women's Health Observatory. This will provide a snapshot of women's cardiovascular health in France at any given time, also in relation to social vulnerability. We would like to thank all our Ambassadors, who are key to the development of our future projects, and with whom we have mapped out the prospects for 2024.
