On July 22, 2026, La Roche-Posay laboratories organized the third edition of its 'Save Your Skin' day at the Mohammed VI University Hospital in Tangier, Morocco. The initiative aims to raise awareness about skin cancer prevention and promote early detection.
The event is part of a broader public health campaign by La Roche-Posay, which has been running globally for several years. In Morocco, the initiative focuses on providing free skin screenings and educational sessions to the public, in partnership with local healthcare professionals.
According to the World Health Organization, skin cancer rates have been rising globally, making prevention and early diagnosis crucial. The 'Save Your Skin' day in Tangier included dermatological consultations and information stands on sun protection.
This year's edition saw participation from hospital staff and volunteers, who helped screen dozens of patients. The event underscores the importance of regular skin checks and sun-safe behaviors, especially in sunny regions like Morocco.
