AS Roma has once again chosen to celebrate International Women’s Day by reaffirming its commitment to promoting prevention initiatives aimed at helping women in its local area.
By activating healthcare facility networks in collaboration with the Campus Bio-Medico University Hospital (AS Roma’s Official Medical Partner), the Local Health Authority Roma 1 and the Local Health Authority Roma 3, women were offered hundreds of free medical consultations, check-ups and gynecological, breast, thyroid, osteoporosis, and colorectal screenings over the weekend of 8 March.
To show the club’s engagement, Amelia Aulicino and Caterina Iannaccone, two players from AS Roma’s U20 Women’s team, went to the Campus Bio-Medico University Hospital of Trigoria, together with the club mascot Romina to meet the doctors and patients who took part in the initiative on behalf of the entire club. They were greeted by the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of the Campus Bio-Medico University Hospital, Paolo Sormani, who said: “Our partnership with AS Roma enables us to enhance early diagnosis and constantly spread awareness of the importance of medical check-ups. Initiatives such as this one can help turn an important celebration into tangible action, as we reassert that treatment and prevention are not occasional activities, but rather a serious commitment that must be part of our everyday lives.”
The three-day event dedicated to women’s health fittingly ended at the Casa della Salute (Community Health Centre) in Ostia of the Local Health Authority Roma 3. There, on 8 March, the fifth edition of the Open Day dedicated to “La cura come maternage” (Care as mothering) screenings was held, with a help desk that provided information on pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Alongside the many initiatives promoted to safeguard women’s health, the club also reasserted its commitment to fighting gender-based violence and supporting vulnerable women through the “Amami e Basta” (Just Love Me) campaign.
On Friday 6 March, after speaking at the Sacro Cuore di Trinità dei Monti Institute at the event titled “Mia o di nessun altro” (Mine and mine only) dedicated to Milena Di Gennaro, who survived a femicide attempt with dramatic consequences, AS Roma’s Head of Women’s Football Betty Bavagnoli visited the SaMiFo Centre of the Local Health Authority Roma 1 on behalf of the club. The centre provides support for asylum seekers, refugees and victims of torture and violence. AS Roma chose to contribute to the organisation’s activities by donating baby care and nursery products and equipment for the
