Pink October 2026: FPEF and CMEF-LT step up the fight against women’s cancers

The Fonds de prévoyance des Eaux et Forêts (FPEF) and the Clinique médicale des Eaux et Forêts Laurent Tchagba (CMEF-LT) are running a national awareness and screening campaign for breast and cervical cancers. Launched in Abidjan on October 1, it continued in Yamoussoukro on October 26, Bouaké on October 27, and Boukébo in the Botro department on October 28, 2026. Campaign teams stressed the importance of medical consultations, early screening, and vigilance for suspicious signs. The initiative aims to inform women, address reluctance about screening, and protect the health of forestry staff and local populations.
