Julia Simón, the councillor for Health, alongside Gerardo Bravo, the director of Hospiten Estepona, announced a new session of the ‘Espacio Salud: Open Days’ program today. Launched in June, this health initiative aims to promote prevention, healthy habits, and overall wellness among residents.
The third session, titled ‘Keys to Preventing Urological Diseases in Time,’ will take place on Thursday, November 19, starting at 6:00 PM. This edition focuses on men’s health awareness in line with Movember, an international campaign that encourages men to prioritize their health, recognize warning signs, and seek medical consultations without delay.
Simón highlighted that these sessions strengthen the collaboration between local authorities and healthcare providers, ensuring residents receive accessible and engaging health information. Gerardo Bravo shared that the event will emphasize the importance of urological check-ups and the need to be attentive to symptoms of conditions such as prostate and testicular cancer.
The meeting will also cover topics related to family planning and shared contraceptive responsibilities, introducing methods like no-scalpel vasectomy as a minimally invasive option.
