M E & F Holdings, in collaboration with Spartan Fitness, Bodyline Ladies Club, and in partnership with Gulf Medical & Diabetes Center, organized an awareness day for all female staff regarding breast cancer during Pink October. The event, hosted by specialist Dr. Rasha AlMahroos, shed light on the symptoms, the importance of self-examination, and regular check-ups by emphasizing the significance of early detection through mammography.
The initiative aims to raise awareness about this disease and encourage women to undergo regular early screenings, as early detection is a crucial factor in achieving a full recovery.
Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent diseases among women worldwide, with approximately 1.4 million new cases diagnosed annually. In the Kingdom of Bahrain, this disease ranks second in terms of prevalence in the Gulf region.
