He emphasised the importance of equipping staff with the knowledge and awareness needed to support one another, particularly through early detection, which remains critical in the fight against breast cancer.

The TCDA CEO also highlighted the role of "lifestyle choices in maintaining good health, explaining that although age and genetics are contributing factors to breast cancer, lifestyle considerations are equally important."

The session focused on the importance of regular breast cancer screening, early detection and community support in tackling the disease.

Participants were also encouraged to make routine screening a priority as part of efforts to safeguard their health.

The event brought together management, staff and other stakeholders, who shared insights on the need to promote regular breast screening and strengthen awareness of breast cancer.



The session ended with management and staff taking a group photograph and sharing memorable moments. Participants showed their support for the awareness campaign by wearing pink and white outfits, some of which featured breast cancer awareness inscriptions.
