Forum "Women's Health and Prevention" | Varna, November 14

How does women's health change after the age of 40? What do we need to know about perimenopause, hormone therapy, and osteoporosis? How do movement, sleep, and our daily habits affect our physical and mental well-being?

On November 14 (Saturday) in Varna, the "Women's Health FEERIA" Association organizes the "Women's Health and Prevention" forum with the support of LEV INS Life, Varna Municipality, and NOVA Clinic.

Following our meetings in Sofia and the successful forum in Ruse in June, we continue the initiative in Varna. Our goal is to gather medical professionals, experts, and women who want to learn more about their health, ask questions, and receive reliable information.
