The municipality of San Jos\u00e9 de las Matas, located in the province of Santiago, was the setting for the 608th session of the Chequ\u00e9ate RD program. This initiative, focused on the timely detection of breast, cervical, and prostate cancer, reaffirms the commitment to bring free and specialized medical services directly to the most remote communities in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The operation was under the direction of Dr. Julio Landr\u00f3n, executive director of the National Health Service (SNS), who highlighted the positive impact this strategy has had since its implementation in May 2021. According to official figures, the program has managed to screen and evaluate more than 140,000 patients through the more than 600 sessions held nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Landr\u00f3n emphasized that the system is not limited to screening, but also includes a network of 13 prioritized hospitals to ensure the continuity of treatment in cases requiring specialized procedures or studies. During these events, the population receives comprehensive care from general practitioners, specialists, pediatricians, and psychologists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nIn this way, patients have accompaniment throughout the entire process, guided by a trained medical team, ensuring they can receive timely care and continue the indicated treatment.<\/p>\nDoctor Blanca Conigliaro, coordinator of Health Intervention Development at the SNS<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
