The October Rose operation, dedicated to the fight against breast cancer, takes place from October 1st to 31st, 2026. During this month, health professionals, NGOs, and associations across the department are mobilizing to inform the public about the importance of screening.
The Department of Charente-Maritime supports the League Against Cancer (17) by organizing a varied program of activities throughout the region. These initiatives include runs, conferences, lotteries, and well-being workshops.
The goal of these events is to raise funds for medical and scientific research, as well as for the support of cancer patients. All funds raised will be donated to associations and research.
The operation emphasizes that screening is a simple, quick, and free examination performed by an accredited radiologist, and highlights that 'Screen to Save' lives is the main objective of this campaign.
