Fondazione Onda ETS is the National observatory for women and gender’s health
We are the National Observatory on Women’s and Gender Health (ETS). Since 2005, we have been promoting a gender-oriented approach to health, with particular attention to women’s health. We disseminate accurate information to the public in order to promote primary prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment adherence. We collaborate with a network of hospitals awarded the Pink Seal for their focus on women’s health. We engage with national and regional institutions, highlighting key issues related to health and equity of access. Our work has always been defined by a “network approach”: we also involve scientific societies, patient associations, and the media in our projects.
Since 2007, we have been promoters of the Bollino Rosa
Bollini Rosa are a tool to acknowledge Italian hospitals, both public and private, that offer a range of services dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of pathologies that affect mostly women.
Since 2016, we have been promoters of the Bollino RosaArgento
In 2016, the Bollino RosaArgento was granted for the first time to nursing homes and care facilities that meet essential requirements to ensure personalized, effective, and safe management of residents, who are predominantly elderly women.
Since 2021, we have been promoters of the Bollino Azzurro
A network of high-quality facilities providing prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation services in the uro-andrological field, with a multidisciplinary approach and a focus on prostate cancer.
Since 2021, we have been promoters of the Bollino HFC.
HFC: the Fondazione Onda network for virtuous companies.
Since 2024, we have been promoters of the Bollino RosaVerde.
An institutional recognition awarded to Italian pharmacies, both public and private, that have gone beyond the sole role of dispensing medicines and provide services to the population, particularly to women (both as patients and caregivers).
