The First Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology hosted on October 6, 2008 the accomplished actress, writer and health care advocate, Fran Drescher on her first visit to Hungary as a freshly nominated American Public Diplomacy Envoy. She is the founder and chairwoman of the Cancer Schmancer organisation, which aims to raise awareness about the as early as Stage 1 diagnosis of all women’s cancers, so that there remains a good chance of those patients being curable.
Herself a uterine cancer survivor, Drescher held a speech for future medical doctors about the crucial importance of the holistic and thorough approach when one is responsible for the lives of others in such a direct way.
Drescher pointed to the fact that in the age of corporations it is not always in the main interests of companies to provide all means for perfect healing methods. She emphasized the importance of the more body-conscious lifestyle of women in prevention. One should listen to and watch carefully the signs of one’s body – stressed the well-known actress on his visit to Semmelweis University.
