Extension project

In 2016, professors, technicians and academics from the Medicine course at the Federal University of Jataí (UFJ) created the extension project O Toque Pela Vida: Outubro Rosa e Novembro Azul. This project aims to inform and guide men and women from Jataí regarding the etiology and risk factors of breast cancer and prostate cancer, in addition to providing and increasing access to preventive exams. To expand and optimize activities, in 2017, project members established a partnership with the Municipal Health Secretariat and the Jataí Men's and Women's Health Program. Activities are divided into preparation and campaigns. During preparation, the members carry out study groups to discuss and update their knowledge about the cancers addressed. During campaigns, actions take place as walks, guidance in public places, companies and the holding of D-Day for Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer in Basic Health Units and in the Squares.
