Back in June, the U.S. Embassy Tegucigalpa, Honduras Health Unit hosted a men’s event for Men’s Health Awareness month. The community joined them for an insightful talk on men's health and the importance of prostate cancer prevention by a local urologist, Dr. Fajardo. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, but early detection and healthy lifestyle choices can make all the difference. Dr. Fajardo shared valuable tips on: *The importance of regular screenings *Healthy habits for prostate health *How to recognize early signs of prostate cancer *The impact of family history on cancer risk Learn more about how you can support and even host events like these as a Foreign Service Medical Specialist by visiting careers.state.gov/med. #menshealth

The Embassy of Dar es Salaam Health Unit did a great job bringing awareness to early detection of breast cancer. The health unit held an early detection course and provided free breast cancer screening examinations in conjunction with the local insurance provider for the Locally Employed Staff. They didn't stop there! They also took to the streets and laced up their tennis shoes for a Breast Cancer Awareness Walk. Other Embassy personnel couldn’t let the health unit be the only ones sounding the alarm for a cure and joined in on the wear pink day.
