Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women globally, and early detection is critical for successful outcomes. Shockingly, it's the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, and women are 100 times more likely than men to develop it. In 2020 alone, breast cancer accounted for one in every eight cancers diagnosed, with an estimated 2.3 million new cases.

At FPA, we strongly advocate for regular screenings for breast cancer. An awareness session was organized today for female staff at the Head Office with Dr. Yasantha Ariyaratne, a Consultant Oncologist. Staff were encouraged to share knowledge and understanding gained from the session as spreading awareness is the only way to encourage women to get regular screenings for early detection.

Remember, this disease accounts for one in every four cancer cases and one in every six cancer deaths in women. We encourage you to get screened if not yet done so – Call on 077 955 2979
