Evercare Hospital Lahore (EHL) is collaborating with NGO Pink Ribbon to help raise awareness about breast cancer in Pakistan.
With the nation having one of the highest incidences of breast cancer in South Asia, 1 in 9 women are at risk. As a result, breast cancer can be attributed to 40,000 deaths among women every year. About 77% of invasive breast cancer cases occur in women above the age of 50, however if it is diagnosed early the survival rates improve significantly. With that in mind, as part of their effort to raise awareness for the cause, EHL offered free mammography and free check up for women at their hospital from 19th to 30th October.
EHL is one of the few full-suite tertiary care facilities in Lahore, equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and led by an experienced management team with both local and international experience.
