Käimas on põievähi teavituskuu

Põievähk on kümne sagedamini esineva vähitüübi seas¹ , aga hoolimata sellest on teadlikkus põievähist väga madal². Ligi 2/3 (62%) inimestest ei ole teadlikud põievähi sümptomitest ja nähtudest³.

Kampaania „We Care“ eesmärk on teadvustada põievähi esmasnähtusid, et inimesed  oskaksid tähelepanu pöörata ja varem tegutseda³.
