Cervical and Breast Cancer Awareness

In celebration of international Women’s Day, SI Malabon recently held a workshop to raise cervical and  breast cancer awareness among women.

SIM provided free lecture with power point presentation and refreshments to more than 80 low income women and girls in the community.  SIM also distributed leaflets on breast self examination.

The event’s highlight was a workshop where participants brainstormed on public advocacy, cancer pain, cancer registry, hospice and preventive care.

Eight (8) club members and a retired obstetrician, Dr. Amorfia Castillo, shared their time and effort to conduct a 5-hour free workshop to educate and  raise awareness,  share the symptoms, detection and treatment to women and girls to prevent these killer diseases.
