The event highlighted the importance of early detection of breast cancer, raised awareness of risk factors and warning signs, and explained the role of regular screenings and healthy practices in increasing the chances of early detection. It also encouraged women to visit healthcare facilities if they notice any abnormal changes in their breasts.
This event is part of efforts to strengthen community partnerships between academic institutions and government agencies and to promote a culture of health among women, thereby supporting prevention and improving quality of life.
