Workshop leaders and lecturers, Marija Parnicki and Branka Bjelica, Ph.D., responded to the invitation of the humanitarian association "Đina" from Bačko Gradište to encourage the women from this place to pay attention to some of the early symptoms of malignant diseases and to seek treatment as soon as possible. A special emphasis is placed on prevention, that is, on a healthy psycho-physical lifestyle. Dr. Branka Bjelica, psychiatrist, especially emphasized the importance of mental health and support, which is needed by every woman who has been diagnosed with some form of malignant disease. The workshop was attended by about 20 women of various ages, who at the end of the workshop said that they found the workshop interesting and useful.
This was also a way to remember and mark October 24, the Day of the fight against breast cancer.
