Lecture: An Interactive Public Awareness Lecture
Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women worldwide. Yet, 9 out of 10 breast health concerns are benign (non-cancerous). Understanding the difference can reduce unnecessary anxiety, encourage timely medical consultation and, most importantly, save lives through early detection.

✔ Breast cancer—myths and facts
✔ Recognising early warning signs
✔ Breast self-awareness
✔ Mammography—who, when and why?
✔ Risk factors and practical lifestyle measures

The lecture will conclude with an interactive Question & Answer session, providing participants with an opportunity to ask questions in an open, supportive and stigma-free environment.
