May 12 is the national day for anonymous and free screening and prevention of skin cancer. Throughout the day, dermatologists from many Bulgarian towns and cities will conduct free checks of people, who have doubts for skin cancer.
The campaign is called Euromelanoma 2008 and is part of the European initiative for prevention and screening of skin cancer. In Bulgaria, it aims to increase awareness about the issue.
Bulgarian dermatologists from university hospitals, clinics and and diagnosis-consultancy centers are taking part in the campaign. Their names and addresses, as well as more information in Bulgarian, can be found at http://derma.bg/showsp.php?id=5.
