The Tsu Foundation was created in 2007 for the purpose of contributing to people’s overall physical, mental, and social development with the aid of the most qualified professionals and technological resources. To achieve its goal, the Foundation carries out a number of integrated actions consisting of specific and systematic activities promoting health care, education, and culture.
Misión Salud initiative
Health care is under way
The first step taken by the Foundation came under the Misión Salud initiative, through the incorporation of the Tsu Mobile Unit (Genital and Breast Cancer Diagnosis Mobile Unit).
Under this nationwide initiative, women are offered comprehensive genital and breast cancer testing at no cost, including advice on health care promotion and prevention.
Tsu Mobile Unit
Misión Salud uses a high-technology mobile unit, fitted to treat women in their place of residence.
This unit is a state-of-the-art genital and breast cancer diagnosis unit developed by a highly experienced, multidisciplinary professional and technical team. It has been fitted with cutting-edge diagnosis equipment in a carefully designed and comfortable environment where women are treated efficiently, ensuring the best of results.
Immediate results: Test results are delivered within an estimated time of 90 minutes.
Absolutely free: This service is available to all women at no cost.
An evaluation of a woman's state of health consists of the following:
• Gynecologic consultation
• Gynecologic examination
• Pap test
• Colposcopy
• Breast examination
• Mammography
• Results
Why women?
Because 450,000 women worldwide are diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer every year, with 200,000 of them dying every year. However, appropriate diagnosis helps prevent and treat these diseases, which account for 50% of women's total number of hospital admissions.
Quality of life
You too can take part in this program. Remember that timely checkups are essential to health care and protection.
