The Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière Foundation, strategic partner and founder of the Bus du Cœur des Femmes

The Women’s Heart Bus addresses a genuine societal crisis.

Contrary to popular belief, more women than men die from cardiovascular disease each year in France.

For Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière, “health is a precious asset and a fundamental right.
That is reason enough to take action and get involved, so that everyone can benefit from access to care and a tailored treatment plan.”

Thanks to the exceptional and exclusive support of the Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière Foundation, a Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring Center has been integrated into the Bus du Cœur des Femmes since the beginning of 2026. All women screened now have their blood pressure measured in this space and are trained in blood pressure self-monitoring under optimal conditions.

As a strategic partner of Agir pour le Cœur des Femmes, the Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière Foundation also supports the rollout of Women’s Heart Day, to enable as many people as possible to access prevention and screening services, including in small towns where access to care is particularly difficult.

For Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière, “This is not just about health, but about equal opportunity and the fight against exclusion, given that mental and physical health issues often go hand in hand with economic and social difficulties. Health is a precious asset and a fundamental right. Each of us must participate in this virtuous cycle and serve as an advocate for prevention.”

Together, we save lives.
