The association is launching the second one-month national campaign to raise the awareness of the women and the public opinion as to the importance of the early and regular screening of this illness in order to reduce its frequency, a statement of the association said.
Coeurs de femmes said it will create a special website to enable women to be best informed about the disease, which is the most common cancer and most common cause of cancer death among women.
In late June, Morocco opened the first breast cancer screening center using the mammography technology in Morocco and the Middle East. The center is expected to provide high-quality screening services (mammography) for approximately 1000 women in the Rabat region to extend in the future to the rest of the country.
According to figures released by the World Health Organization, over a million people suffer breast cancer in the world. The study also suggests that mammography screening may reduce breast cancer mortality by 25-30 per cent.
