M6 boards the Women's Heart Bus

M6 met the Bus du Coeur des Femmes during its Paris leg. By 2022, the Bus will have offered cardiovascular and gynecological screening to some 4,000 women in 15 towns.

A study carried out in the first 5 cities showed edifying results: 9 out of 10 women who passed through the bus had at least 2 cardiovascular risk factors, 43% had uncontrolled hypertension and 73% were abdominally obese. This study strengthened our conviction that friendly prevention on the ground was essential. This collective and collaborative action mobilizes a large number of partners. After the screening, follow-up is organized with the help of the towns, the Caisse Primaire d'Assurance Maladie and local volunteer health professionals, which is what makes this initiative so original. The aim is to go beyond one-off screening, and put at-risk women back on a local care pathway. Appointments for specialized consultations are pre-booked for them, and a liaison letter is drawn up for their GP. They are invited to continue their involvement in their own health care, with a free blood pressure self-measurement device. A Health and Well-being Village, open to all, completes this important screening event, with numerous advice stands set up by health professionals.
