Breast Cancer Awareness Session at AFJOG
The Breast Cancer Awareness Programme was first launched under the name Pink Ribbon in 1985. Every year in October, various events are held worldwide to raise awareness about the early detection, treatment, and cure of breast cancer.
However, breast cancer awareness should not be limited to one month — it is needed throughout the year, every day, in hospitals, clinics, and on social media.
AFJOG arranged an awareness session on breast cancer in collaboration with the Dilawar Hussain Foundation on 15th October 2025 at AMRC. A large number of patients, women from nearby areas, friends, and doctors attended the programme.
Lectures were delivered on self-examination techniques, the necessary investigations for early detection, diagnosis, and referral for treatment. It was also announced that any woman who has concerns can request a breast examination by a doctor at our clinics.
AFJOG has facilities for breast ultrasound (USG) and needle biopsy when required. I am pleased to announce the addition of Prof. Dr. Rozina, a histopathologist, to our team. She has kindly offered her services for breast examinations and for performing needle biopsies of any masses detected on ultrasound.
We will ensure that all women visiting our clinics have access to these facilities, Insha’Allah.
We are also planning to collaborate with the Dilawar Hussain Foundation in other specialties and to initiate joint research programmes. An MOU will soon be signed with your consent.
