On 31 October 2025, the National Institute of Petroleum (INP) marked the October Rose/November Blue campaigns, with a lecture dedicated to the prevention of breast and prostate cancer, promoting a moment of sharing, reflection and appreciation of the health of its employees and, by sess, their loved ones.
The initiative, which brought together all employees, highlighted the importance of taking care of health as an act of personal and institutional responsibility, and invited participants to reflect on prevention and early diagnosis as instruments of protection of life, with the same spirit of vigilance, transparency and responsibility that guides the action of the INP in the regulation of the hydrocarbons sector.
During the opening, the Chairman of the INP's Board of Directors, Eng. Nazário Bangalane, stressed that "true progress begins when we care for those who make the country move forward", highlighting the importance of cultivating an institutional culture that values well-being, prevention and collective commitment.
The talk was attended by Dr. Adelino Uandela and Nurse Adelaide Regina, specialists who addressed topics on risk factors, early diagnosis and healthy habits, warning the need to break taboos and encourage dialogue on male and female health.
The officials joined the initiative with enthusiasm, wearing the pink and blue colors, symbols of solidarity and union around the two causes, and participated in a moment of fraternization and sharing, ending the session in an environment of inspiration and empathy.
With this action, the INP reaffirms that responsibility and care, central principles in the regulation of the oil sector, must also guide the way each collaborator takes care of himself and others.
The institution thus demonstrates that ethics, prevention and commitment to life are values that are transversal to its mission to promote an efficient, sustainable and people-centered oil sector.
