The International Day against Breast Cancer was observed on Saturday to raise awareness about this deadly disease and promote women’s access to timely diagnosis and treatment.

The theme for World Breast Cancer Day in 2024 is ‘No one should face breast cancer alone.’ This theme emphasises the critical role of patientcentered care, which encompasses medical, emotional, psychological, and social support through patient navigation systems.

It also seeks to address gender and socioeconomic inequalities in access to breast cancer care.
