The Economic Community of West African States Mission in The Gambia (ECOMIG) and the Gambia Defence Forces have joined together to mark Pink October 2024, an annual event dedicated to raising awareness about breast cancer.
The observance of Pink October serves as a reminder of the importance of early detection and treatment of breast cancer, which can save countless lives.
As part of the event, members of both forces are participating in various activities, including health talks, screening programs, and community outreach efforts to educate the public about breast cancer prevention. By taking part in Pink October, ECOMIG and the Gambia Defence Forces are showing their commitment to supporting health initiatives and contributing to the fight against breast cancer in the region.
The event also highlights the importance of solidarity within the community and encourages people to seek medical advice and regular screenings to detect any signs of breast cancer early. This collaborative effort by the two forces aims to bring hope and support to those affected by the disease, as well as promote a healthier and more informed society.
