Shaukat Khanum Breast Cancer Awareness
In today’s fast-paced world, we often notice changes around us but tend to overlook the ones within us. In Pakistan, breast cancer remains a pressing concern, with one of the highest incidence rates in Asia.
While prevention may not always be within our control, early detection can make a significant difference.
Here are a few simple steps to help safeguard your breast health:
- Women under 40 should perform a monthly self-examination.
- Women over 40 should schedule an annual mammogram and monthly self-exams.
Pay Attention to Yourself! Remember, if you notice anything unusual, get checked.
