“Today is an important day, because we recognize the role of women in our society. Worker, professional, mother, partner and friend, multiple functions in a single person. That is we want to be healthy. We invite them all to do free PAP in Vitacura”, said the Mayor.
For its part, the Undersecretary Paula Daza, recalled that “the PAP is a test free, simple, fast. Beware of a cancer, detected on time, is 100% curable.
