Ferozsons Laboratories Limited organized nationwide awareness walks and illuminated the company headquarters in pink to commemorate Pinktober as part of its #LetBattleTogether# initiative against breast cancer.
In this regard, an event was organized on Monday to kick-off the awareness initiatives. Dr Sohail Saqlain, Member Health Nutrition and Emergency Services Punjab Planning and Development Board, inaugurated the campaign and said that the alarming rise in breast cancer cases should be a topic of discussion not just in October but all year round.
Speaking at an employee awareness session held at Ferozsons Laboratories Ltd, Prof Sohail Murad stressed that women of age bracket 40 and above should go for a mammogram at least once in two years and younger women are advised to educate themselves about the disease and learn how to self-examine for early detection.
