Catch the rays, not the risk: Free skin cancer screenings this September
BIODERMA's Skin Health Circuit returns this September, offering free screenings in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban.
South Africa experiences the highest rate of skin cancer in the world, with around 20,000 diagnoses and 700 deaths each year. Many South Africans cannot access screenings due to limited availability. To tackle this issue, BIODERMA is launching the third annual Skin Health Circuit in September. This event, held in Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Durban, offers free skin screenings and encourages sun safety.
The initiative partners with various organizations, including medical, athletic, educational institutions, and the Melanoma Society of South Africa. By providing screenings directly to communities, the Skin Health Circuit removes financial and logistical barriers that often delay life-saving diagnoses. Supporters are urged to use the hashtags #getscreened and #sayyestoSPF when promoting the campaign.
