Since its establishment, Primavera’s mobile screening bus has provided breast cancer screenings to over 140,000 women at 174 locations all over Hungary – many in remote rural areas who otherwise would not have easy access to screening facilities.

During the visit, Sylvia Madai, the Director of the Primavera Foundation, briefed Ambassador Kounalakis on Primavera’s accomplishments over the past decade, outlined the foundation’s plans for the future, and gave a tour of MaMMa Klinika’s Budapest facility.

Ambassador Kounalakis congratulated Ms. Madai and Mrs. Blinken for Primavera’s outstanding work, and highlighted that Primavera has been one of the true pioneers in Hungary helping to remove the social stigma associated with breast cancer and, at the same time, providing the diagnostic services essential for early detection and treatment.
