Cremona health services launch cardiomyopathy and breastfeeding initiatives

Health authorities in the Cremona region of Italy are launching several public health initiatives in early October 2026.

ASST Cremona will host free information sessions at the Cremona and Oglio Po hospitals on October 1. These sessions, organized as part of a sensitization week promoted by Fondazione Onda ETS, will allow the public to consult with specialists regarding cardiomyopathy. Medical professionals will address symptoms, family transmission, and treatment paths for various cardiac muscle pathologies. Experts noted that hypertrophic cardiomyopathy affects approximately one in 500 people and is a leading cause of sudden death in individuals under 35.

In conjunction with World Breastfeeding Week (October 1–7), ASST Cremona clinics in Cremona and Soresina will offer open-access spaces for breastfeeding and parenting support. Additionally, a new dedicated space for breastfeeding and infant feeding will be available every Thursday from 9:00 to 12:00 at the Casalmaggiore clinic, providing facilities such as weighing scales and changing areas.
