Every Saturday in October, for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Salah-Azaïez Institute opens its doors to women undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy: fully free dermatology consultations to spot and treat the effects of these treatments on the skin, with advice tailored to each patient.
What is this initiative from the Salah-Azaïez Institute?
the aim is to prevent, identify and treat any skin effects linked to these treatments.
Every Saturday in October, for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Salah-Azaïez Institute opens its doors to women undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy for fully free dermatology consultations. The initiative is aimed at those whose skin goes through a more fragile stretch during treatment, and for whom specialist advice isn't always easy to come by.
This weekly appointment removes the cost barrier at a time when every bit of care counts. By choosing Breast Cancer Awareness Month to launch it, the Salah-Azaïez Institute aims to prevent, identify and treat the skin effects linked to these treatments, and to give patients medical advice tailored to their situation.
Why do these consultations exist?
Behind these free consultations lies a precise medical goal: getting ahead of what chemotherapy or radiotherapy can do to the skin. Hanen Bouaziz puts it plainly: the aim is to prevent, identify and treat any skin effects linked to these treatments.
Each patient also receives medical advice tailored to her situation, support designed so that treating the illness doesn't add the extra burden of poorly managed skin discomfort.
How can you take part?
Throughout October, for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Salah-Azaïez Institute opens its doors every Saturday for free dermatology consultations. They're aimed at women undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy, an easy appointment to slot into the weekend. If a friend, a sister or a colleague is going through these treatments, this is the perfect moment to mention it to her: access is free and repeats every Saturday of the month.
Behind this gesture is a concrete goal: spotting and treating the effects these treatments can leave on the skin before they take hold. As Hanen Bouaziz points out, these consultations also provide patients with medical advice tailored to their situation.
Looking after your skin when your body is already going through so much counts double, and that's exactly what the Salah-Azaïez Institute offers every Saturday in October. If a friend, a sister or a colleague is undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy, this free weekend appointment is a simple tip to pass on: a specialist's opinion, and advice tailored to her situation.
