The local health authority ASL Avellino is bringing its "Salute in movimento" mobile prevention campaign to Summonte on Saturday 17 October 2026. The Health Campers will operate from 09:00 to 14:00 in Piazza Alessio De Vito, offering free screenings and health information.

The appointment has been reported by IrpiniaNews and independently by Corriere dell'Irpinia, both citing the ASL Avellino programme. It is announced as a scheduled stop; the available reports do not yet confirm attendance or outcomes.

What will be available

According to the two local reports, the Summonte stop will offer:

  • Breast screening by mammography for women aged 50–69
  • Cervical screening with Pap tests for women aged 25–29 and HPV DNA tests for women aged 30–64
  • Colorectal screening for women and men aged 50–69, with distribution of a kit for testing occult blood in stool
  • Free hepatitis C screening for people born between 1969 and 1989, including STP citizens
  • An information point on organ and tissue donation and declarations of intent

All of the screening services listed for the event are described as free.

Who should consider going

The age ranges make it easy to check at a glance whether the stop is relevant for you or a family member:

  • Women 25–29: cervical screening by Pap test
  • Women 30–64: cervical screening by HPV DNA test
  • Women and men 50–69: breast screening for women in this group, plus colorectal screening for both women and men
  • People born from 1969 to 1989: hepatitis C screening, with STP citizens explicitly included

If you fall into more than one group, you can ask about combining services in a single visit when you contact the organisers.

How to get information and access screening

Information and access to screening can be arranged through the dedicated number 333 5800309, reported by both sources.

The announcements do not specify whether every screening requires a prior booking or whether walk-in access will be available on the day. To avoid a wasted trip, it is worth calling in advance to confirm whether you need to reserve, what identification or health documentation to bring, and whether any preparation is needed for the test you plan to take, particularly for the colorectal screening kit.

Piazza Alessio De Vito is the confirmed location for the mobile units. The service runs only during the morning, from 09:00 to 14:00, so arriving early in the window leaves more time in case of queues.
