Breast Cancer Awareness Seminars are being conducted in educational institutes especially colleges and universities to raise awareness among young women regarding the prevention, detection and treatment of Breast Cancer.
An event in connection with the Breast Cancer Awareness will be held at the Governor House and will be attended by the wife of President Begum Samina Alvi.
According to the details, Begum Perveen Sarwar, wife of Governor Punjab and President Punjab Girls Guides Association Punjab, while talking to media in her office, said that we have launched the Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign across Punjab including Lahore.
In this regard, Awareness Seminars have been organized at Government Degree College, Islampura, Lahore, Government Degree College, Chuna Mandi, Government Degree College, Shahkot, and many other educational institutions.
The Seminars are attended by the large number of women from different walks of life including doctors who have provided information to young students about breast cancer and taught them 5-minute self-examination that can play a crucial role in timely diagnosis.
She said that these seminars are very helpful in removing the taboo about breast cancer.
There should be no shame in talking about a disease that claims over 40,000 deaths every year in the country.
