Well-deserved finale of the MOVEMBER campaign at the Hořovice Hospital

1. 12. 2015

For the first year, the doctors of the Hořovice hospital enthusiastically joined the MOVEMBER event. The campaign was mainly driven by the orthopaedics department, which was joined by doctors from other departments such as the ARO, the internal medicine department, the children's ward or the surgery department, but also by administrative staff.

Movember is the name of the charity. Each year, the charity uses its November awareness campaign to persuade men to grow moustaches to show their support for the campaign and to draw even more attention to prostate cancer. The campaign also includes a fundraiser used to research and fight this insidious disease.

The Hořovice Hospital then implemented its own collection, to which not only employees but also visitors to the hospital could contribute. On the first floor of the main building at the entrance to the cafeteria, a cash box was placed for this purpose. The proceeds will be used to purchase equipment to perform biopsies of prostate tumours under ultrasound control.
