Professor Dr Sajjad Mohammad Yusuff, Visiting Senior Consultant, Department of Medical and Radiation Oncology, said:
'Breast cancer can often be detected early through self-examination and timely medical screening. Early detection saves lives. Awareness across all sectors and stronger hospital screening systems are essential. When our mothers and sisters are healthy, society as a whole becomes stronger', he said.
Hospital specialists noted that 12,000–14,000 women in Bangladesh are diagnosed with breast cancer annually, many at advanced stages. Raising awareness and expanding access to screening are vital to reversing this trend.
Evercare Hospital Chattogram continues to lead community health initiatives, offering advanced diagnostics, specialised oncology care and year-round preventive health programmes that encourage early screening and proactive wellbeing.
