"The early detection of this fatal disease can save many precious lives," she added.

Begum Alvi further informed that they were making efforts to set up call centers to facilitate women often shy of discussing the health related issue with family members and friends.

Mrs. Alvi observed that 50 per cent of the country's population comprised women, therefore, it was imperative to provide them health facilities.

She urged the welfare and non-governmental organizations to join hands in the breast cancer campaign by providing health incentives and facilities especially to the under-privileged women of the country.

She also appreciated the media's role in raising awareness about the fatal diseases. The Pakistan Telecommunication was requested to send awareness messages to masses, she further said.

Strong family support was a key to fast recovery, she referred to another factor. Begum Alvi further said that in Pakistan, the prevalence of the breast cancer was very alarming as it was among the top countries of the region where women were affected with this disease.

“The emphasis is, women should not feel shy or get afraid to discuss the disease with their families and friends,” she said while taking part in a panel discussion. She observed that treatment of this disease was also expensive and efforts should be made to provide treatment to the poor women.
