President Dr Arif Alvi has emphasised the need to promote the habit of self-examination among women for early detection of breast cancer.
Addressing the launching ceremony of Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign in Islamabad, he said being a developing country, Pakistan cannot afford the expensive treatment of diseases like cancer, so it is inevitable to put in all required efforts on its prevention.
The President stressed the need to create awareness about women’s health issues through media and strategic messaging during daily talk shows, dramas and movies.
He also highlighted the need to create awareness about the rights of differently-abled people, besides empowering them financially by equipping them with marketable skills.
