Galenika is encouraging breast cancer awareness again this year

The mission of the company Galenika and its brand Pantenol this year is also in the service of the fight against breast cancer. During October, the month dedicated to the fight against breast cancer, Galenika for the fifth time provides active support and realizes a donor campaign for a health institution in Serbia: from every purchased product from Galenika's Panthenol portfolio during October, Galenika allocates 3% of the product's value for this humanitarian initiative. 

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is celebrated every October under the name Pink October, because people around the world highlight a ribbon of this color to raise awareness of the importance of prevention and routine screening for early diagnosis of breast cancer. According to data from the World Health Organization, this is the second most common cancer in the world for both sexes, while in women it is the most dominant cancer, occurring in almost a quarter of the female population (23.8%). 

"For the fifth year in a row, Galenika has implemented a socially responsible project dedicated to the fight against breast cancer, through donations to health institutions and a campaign to raise awareness about the importance of prevention and early diagnosis for the success of treatment. Panhenol Pink October is important because it informs, and encourages togetherness and association in the fight against this disease. World statistics show that early diagnosis, and thus the cure rate, depends on the level of information. It's a battle we can win together. This year, the funds of our donation will be intended for a regionally important institution, the Kladovo Health Center, as support for the Oncology Service in working with patients from Eastern and Southeastern Serbia," said Riccardo Vian Marques, general manager of the Galenika company. 

Promoting breast health has a proven importance for successful treatment, as it includes education and encouragement for regular self-examinations and doctor's examinations, early detection and diagnosis, and thus successful treatment. The message we send is: Share - Remind - Check. During October, every customer of a product from Galenika's Pantenol portfolio contributes to a donation and the improvement of treatment conditions at the oncology center of the Health Center in Kladovo, whether they buy Galenika's Pantenol cream, Pantenol + B3HA cream gel, mask, ointment, lotion, solution, spray, easy skin, oriblets or foam. 

In addition to annual examinations at the doctor's, it is recommended to perform breast self-examination at home, once a month. It only takes a few minutes, which means a lot and is a set of prescribed palpation steps that everyone can and should perform regularly. With united efforts, we inform, remind, and adopt habits and behavior that help in the fight against breast cancer, that's why: #ShareRemindCheck.
