The Women's Heart Bus in Cannes

The Women's Heart Bus kicked off its 2022 tour from March 9 to 11 in Cannes, to combat cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death among women. It offered a 7-step screening program for women in vulnerable situations, free of charge upon registration. Over 200 women were screened.
1. Welcome: presentation of the screening program and distribution of the screening booklet.
2. Cardiovascular risk: blood pressure measurements, identification of cardiovascular warning symptoms
3. Metabolic risk: measurement of weight, height and abdominal circumference, blood glucose and lipid levels
4. Addictology: screening interview (alcohol, smoking, etc.)
5. Gynecology: interview and identification of high-risk situations, with a gyneco-obstetrical component.
6. Assessment: collection of the screening booklet and proposal of a course of treatment if necessary.
7. Delivery of a bag containing preventive documents and an arm blood pressure monitor.
A Health and Wellness Village was open to all. It featured numerous information, prevention and wellness stands, run by health professionals. David Lisnard, Mayor of Cannes and President of the Association des maires de France et des présidents d'intercommunalité, came to support the teams. He confirmed his city's support for Agir pour le Coeur des Femmes over the coming years, and reaffirmed the importance of prevention initiatives supported by cities, especially those aimed at vulnerable groups.
