The Women's Heart Bus at the French National Assembly

The Bus made a stop at the French National Assembly on the occasion of the International Day of Action for Women's Health.

The Women's Heart Bus at the French National Assembly

Nearly 100 female MPs and Assembly staff underwent a comprehensive two-hour, ten-step cardio-gynecological screening.

ALL women need to take care of themselves, in all territories and all socio-professional categories.

This strong message, which we wanted to send to the public authorities, was well received by the numerous female deputies who boarded the bus, as well as by Minister Catherine Vautrin, who reaffirmed that prevention among women was one of her top priorities.

Three former health ministers were also on hand to inaugurate the 60th leg of our Bus: Aurélien rousseau, Agnès Firmin Le Bodo and Frédéric Valletoux.

Many thanks to Yaël Braun-Pivet, President of the French National Assembly, for making this day possible, which began with a conference on women's health organized by Fréderic Valletoux, Chairman of the Social Affairs Committee.

Our thanks also go to Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière, a founding member of the Bus du Coeur des Femmes and exclusive sponsor of its Maison Médicale Mobile, who also accompanied us and without whom none of this would have been possible.
