I would also like to thank Chughtai Lab for providing free mammography vouchers for the guests present. A very special shout-out to event partner SRM Couture and for our media partners Biz Today International and Studio One.
MKP Corporate Group Pakistan, President Mr. Syed Kashif Ali Hashmi said; “I think cancer is a hard battle to fight alone or even with another person at your side, but I must say that having someone to pick you up when you fall, stand by your side through every appointment and delivery of bad news, is priceless. We must create more and more awareness for Breast Cancer and shouldn’t be for just one month, this awareness session should go on. Every pink ribbon makes a difference by spreading awareness. Awareness is Power”.
President Women Chapter ov MKP Corporate Group Pakistan, Mrs Syed Raafia Mamujee said; “Breast Cancer Awareness shouldn’t last for just one month, but should go on. We need to spread as much as we can. The only person who can save you is you/yourself. Love yourself, be strong, be brave and must get your mammography done at the earliest. Early detection saves lives.”
President Women Chapter thanked Chughtai Lab for their support in shape of free vouchers for mammography test, which with no arguable doubt is a humanitarian contribution for this worthy cause.
