The Health Department of the Villena City Council highlights the importance of participating in the Colorectal Cancer Prevention Program of the Valencian Community, a key initiative for the early detection of the disease.

The program is aimed at men aged between 50 and 71 residing in Villena and its districts. Men who receive the invitation for the first time will get a participation letter, while those who have previously participated will directly receive the necessary materials for the test.
The Health Department strongly recommends participation in the program and following the provided instructions, emphasizing the fundamental role of prevention and early detection in addressing colorectal cancer.
