THE BUS DU COEUR IS BACK ON THE ROAD!

The new Women's Heart Bus screening campaign has been launched, with the support of the French Ministry of Health and the Assurance Maladie. The bus is continuing its preventive actions as close to home as possible.

With a 16-stop tour in 2024, it enjoys the renewed support of its partners, including Ramsay Sante corporate Foundation. This partnership for the third year running underlines our shared commitment to women's health.

The Women's Heart Bus makes prevention and care truly accessible, by combating fears. The gratitude of women motivated to take care of themselves is a source of great satisfaction for all the teams, local healthcare professionals and partners involved in this noble cause.

In just over two years, almost 10,000 women have already benefited from free cardiovascular and gynecological screening on the Women's Heart Bus. Collaboration between local players, healthcare professionals, associations and public authorities has created a community of ambassadors who are taking effective action to raise awareness of cardiovascular disease among women and encourage them to take charge of their health.
