Frecciarosa returns to Sicily: Breast cancer prevention on trains in October.

The “Prevention Train” for breast cancer returns in October, with a stop in Sicily on October 27th. This is the thirteenth edition of Frecciarosa, an initiative by Fondazione IncontraDonna and Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane. Last year, 25,000 passengers were involved, 15,000 health guides were distributed, and over a thousand services were provided on board the train. The objective of the project is to promote breast cancer prevention through a series of initiatives. Until October 31st, doctors and volunteers will be on high-speed, intercity, and regional trains to reach a diverse audience. In addition to consultations on board, there will be informative desks at the FrecciaLounge in Rome and Milan. This year, the project also includes activities with the support of the Lazio Region. There will be a sensitization campaign at Ostiense Station from October 19th to 21st, focusing on mammography, pap smears, and occult blood tests. Another new feature is the distribution of the Vaccination Record, an easy-to-read tool to promote vaccination culture. The main focus remains the distribution of the Health Guide on board the train, which provides information on healthy lifestyles and cancer prevention. This year, the guide has also been translated into English and is available on the frecciarosa.it website, where teleconsultations will also be offered. The campaign was presented in Rome and emphasized the importance of healthcare initiatives.
