Breast Cancer Awareness globally

October is recognized globally as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time when institutions and organizations worldwide focus on educating the public about this prevalent disease. Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women, with millions diagnosed every year. Early detection plays a crucial role in reducing mortality rates, as breast cancer can be effectively treated when identified early. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), early-stage detection increases the survival rate significantly, emphasizing the importance of regular screenings and education about self-examinations.
