Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 66038, member: 636"] A senior radiographer at Katutura Intermediate Hospital has raised an alarm about poor attendance by women at breast cancer awareness programs in Namibia. Martinlina Karutjaiva spoke to Nampa on Thursday at a Ministry of Health and Social Services event in Windhoek focused on early detection. The World Health Organisation identifies early screening as the most effective method to prevent deaths from breast cancer, which remains the leading cancer affecting women globally. Karutjaiva said many Namibians fail to grasp why participation in such health campaigns matters for their survival. She called on women to view these sessions as investments in their health and stressed the need for regular self-examinations. Radiation therapist Onesmus Amunyela reinforced this message, telling women their lives hold value and that breast cancer requires early action rather than fear. [/QUOTE]
