October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month – a gentle but important reminder to stop postponing care with “I never have time.” This is the perfect moment to schedule a preventive check-up – or at least hear a specialist explain what screening is and why it matters.
That’s why Ukrainogortsi, together with Uniting Hearts, are joining the global Pink October initiative and launching a series of women’s meetings focused on health and prevention. Breast cancer remains the most common cancer among women, and early detection saves lives.
First online introductory meeting
🗓 Friday, 27 September
🕓 16:00
💛 Free (donations welcome)
You can join in one of two ways:
-

What we’ll talk about
Along with your questions, we’ll discuss in simple words:

women’s health in forced migration
-
what screening is and why it’s essential for protecting your health
Speaker
💖 Dr. Olena Datiienko (Nonko) – Kyiv-based oncologist–mammologist (@doc_mamolog), currently living in Belgrade.

What’s next in October
Throughout October, you’ll have opportunities for consultations (preliminarily on Fridays), and you’ll also be able to book in-person appointments – Dr. Olena will travel from Belgrade to Budva especially for our community.
Please be attentive to your health. Life is worth fighting for.
