The month of October is dedicated to raising awareness about BREAST CANCER, a disease that affects millions around the world. Statistics from Pink Ribbon Pakistan indicate that 109 Pakistani women die of breast cancer every 24 hours. An annual death toll of over 40,000 coupled with new cases of breast cancer of over 90,000 is a grave concern.
Recognising this alarming situation, in observance of Breast Cancer Awareness month, renowned health-tech startup MEDZnMORE recently held an internal event in conjunction with Pink Ribbon Pakistan to educate its female employees about breast cancer.
The event was hosted by MEDZnMORE in their Karachi office, where Pink Ribbon's representative presented information on Breast Cancer awareness, its symptoms, its causes and how to examine oneself. The event aimed to highlight the importance of screening and early detection.
