Breast Cancer Awareness

“Awareness is power — because every woman deserves a future beyond breast cancer.”

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide, with 2.3 million new cases diagnosed each year, and a rising burden in Asia — where in Pakistan, approximately 1 in 9 women is at risk of developing breast cancer in her lifetime.

October is globally observed as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, It serves as a reminder that awareness saves lives. Encouraging regular screening and empowering women to take charge of their health plays vital role in mortality and morbidity reduction.
