Pink October

Associa-Med Sfax successfully executed its annual Pink October campaign, dedicated to breast cancer awareness and early detection.

The initiative began with a training session on October 15, 2024, at the Faculty of Medicine of Sfax. Led by Dr. Wafa Mnejja and Dr. Jamel Daoud, this session educated participants on symptoms, screening, and self-examination techniques, alongside communication skills.

Following the training, SCORAngels collaborated with Dar El Amal to conduct a series of impactful awareness campaigns. These efforts aimed to widely disseminate information and encourage preventive practices, emphasizing that early detection offers hope given that 1 in 8 women face breast cancer.

The Pink October campaign significantly contributed to promoting breast health and corrected misinformation within the community.
