October is officially a breast cancer awareness month across the globe.
As per the Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association (JPMA), in Pakistan, approximately 90,000 new cases are diagnosed every year, out of which 40,000 die.
Besides that, lack of breastfeeding, diet, less parity, and smoking are most significantly associated with breast cancer in women. A short breast examination can often prevent cancer and protect women from the most horrifying and horrendous nightmare of their lives.
Pakistani brands understand how much of a threat breast cancer is to women in Pakistan, and they also recognize how shame is associated with getting breasts examined in the country. So with their influence and reach, the brands come forward every year in October to spread awareness through pamphlets, campaigns, ads, lighting buildings pink, discounts, and much more.
