*COMMEMORATION OF BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH*

Medical Women's Association of Nigeria (MWAN), Kaduna State Branch, in collaboration with NASFAT Kaduna Zone and Khayr Cancer Health Initiative (KCHI), held a Breast Cancer Awareness seminar on 20/10/2024 at NASFAT (Main branch, Mando and Doka Branch respectively) by 10:30a.m

Dr Aminat Jimoh, Secretary MWAN Kaduna, gave a brief introduction about the MWAN Kaduna state branch and the vision of the association. She talked about the common cancer in women and further elaborated on breast cancer, risk factors, symptoms, and modalities of management.

She demonstrated how to perform self breast examinations.

In addition, she talked briefly on cervical cancer and prostate ca , encouraging the public to get vaccinated against the human papilloma virus.
Lastly, she encouraged the men to be supportive towards their family members, especially their wives, to lessen the burden of psychological trauma to the patients with breast cancer and other cancers.

Dr Nuhu Folorunsho (Member NASFAT) buttressed the point of Madam Secretary for women to take care of their health and avoid any products or supplements as it doesn't prevent cancer.

Common questions asked:
1. What are the causes of cancer and ways of prevention?
2. Are cancer hereditary?
3. Can health product prevent breast cancer?
4. What are the symptoms of cervical cancer, and how can one prevent it?
5. Why is there wrong or missed diagnosis?

All these were answered by Madam Secretary, MWAN Kaduna.

Dr Fatima Saleh, representatives of KCHI, gave a brief discussion on the topics.

The NASFAT Kaduna zone Vice Chairman appreciated the speaker and members and requested more partnership and collaborations on matters regarding health with MWAN Kaduna.

We appreciated everyone who took their time to be present in today's activity

Thank you
