The Minister for Health and Prevention, Mr François Braun, visits the launch of the Women's Heart Bus

The Minister for Health and Prevention, Mr François Braun, visits the launch of the Women's Heart Bus

On Friday, March 11, 2023, the last day of the Bus du Coeur des Femmes' visit to Cannes, the French Minister of Health came to see the project in action. Interested by the innovative actions in the field of prevention, and intrigued by the territorial impact of the Bus du Coeur des Femmes, the Minister came to meet the co-founders of Agir pour le Coeur des Femmes and all the volunteers involved in the operation. He took time to follow the entire screening itinerary, and then to talk with the medical staff and local associations. It was a privileged moment with a committed Minister, motivating the Agir pour le Cœur des Femmes teams to go even further to save lives.

"The visit of François Braun, Minister of Health and Prevention, to the launch of the 2023 event is a strong indicator of the determination of public health players to create new models of prevention. Only collective action rooted in a territory, mobilizing local players, can be truly effective in the long term."
Pr Claire Mounier-Véhier, co-founder of Agir pour le Cœur des Femmes

"200 women die every day in France from cardiovascular disease in France, 6 times more than from breast cancer. At Agir pour le Cœur des Femmes, we've been working for three years now to reduce the incidence of this disease. The growing awareness of the public authorities - whether ministries, the CNAM or learned societies - of the urgency of the situation has brought us to a turning point: their involvement in our awareness-raising operations not only legitimizes our commitment, but also reinforces it. With their support, we will be able to save tens of thousands of lives."
Thierry Drilhon, co-founder of Agir pour le Cœur des Femmes
