The "Capri in Salute" prevention initiative drew a strong public response at the Capilupi hospital in Capri, delivering 333 health services over two days.
Organized by ASL Napoli 1 Centro in collaboration with the City of Capri, the initiative took place on 7 and 8 November and offered free cancer-prevention activities, adult vaccinations, hepatitis C screening and pneumology consultations.
What was provided
According to figures reported by Metropolis Web and confirmed by ANSA, the two days produced 333 services in total:
- 55 mammograms
- 55 breast ultrasounds
- 50 Pap/HPV tests
- 96 colorectal-cancer prevention kits
- 37 pneumology visits
- 21 adult vaccinations
- 19 hepatitis C screenings
The program therefore covered breast, cervical and colorectal cancer prevention alongside respiratory consultations, adult immunizations and hepatitis C checks.
Why it mattered for Capri
Mayor Paolo Falco described participation as strong and said further prevention days are expected.
He linked the need for repeat editions to the island's current provision: Capri lacks facilities able to provide some of the specialized examinations offered during the initiative.
A note on the numbers
The reported figure of 333 refers to services delivered, not to the number of individual participants. The available reports do not give a separate count of people who attended.
No confirmed date or schedule for possible follow-up prevention days has been reported.
