The Maniema Doctors Club mobilized against breast cancer
The Maniema Province Doctors Club is today closing its awareness campaign on the fight against breast cancer. This campaign, which particularly targeted young girls, aims to inform the population about the risks associated with this disease and to promote early detection.
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women and it is essential to raise awareness and inform the population about prevention and screening measures. The Maniema Doctors Club therefore mobilized throughout this month to raise awareness among communities, particularly young girls, about the risks, symptoms and prevention methods of this disease.
According to Dr François Dibwe, member of the Doctors’ Club, the communication of this campaign is mainly focused on early detection: “We emphasize the importance of early detection, because when it is detected early, breast cancer can be successfully treated. On the other hand, when the disease is diagnosed late, it may already have spread and cause serious complications.”
Throughout the campaign, club doctors visited several schools to raise awareness among young girls. They explained to them the importance of breast self-examination, as well as the different screening methods available, such as mammography and ultrasound. Doctors have also emphasized the importance of a healthy diet and a balanced lifestyle to reduce the chances of developing breast cancer.
This initiative of the Maniema Doctors Club is of crucial importance in the fight against breast cancer. By raising awareness among young girls from a young age, it helps to create early awareness and encourage the adoption of healthy behaviors and good prevention habits.
The conclusion of this campaign marks an important step in the fight against breast cancer in the province of Maniema. Doctors will continue to monitor and support communities in raising awareness of this disease, encouraging early detection and promoting appropriate prevention measures.
In short, the mobilization of the Maniema Doctors’ Club against breast cancer is a laudable example of commitment to women’s health. With initiatives such as this, we can hope for an increase in early detection, a reduction in breast cancer cases and a better quality of life for women in Maniema province.
