According to World Health Organization (WHO) statistics, approximately 2.1 million women around the world are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. In Bangladesh, the number is more than 15 thousand every year. Early-stage detection and treatment for breast cancer can save lives. For that, mass awareness is needed.
In the ‘Fresh Bangladesh’ campaign, breast cancer awareness was spread from Teknaf to Tetulia through a mobile clinic (caravan). The mobile clinic had free breast screening facility with a professional doctor and sonologist.
Approximately 1,000 women took the service, out of which, 110 were found to have symptoms or abnormalities.
