With October being the global Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Subang Jaya Medical Centre (SJMC) is holding month-long activities to raise awareness on the importance of early detection of the disease in Malaysia, where the overall lifetime risk of developing breast cancer is one in every 27 women.
The private hospital is inviting the public to pen their heartfelt and inspirational breast cancer messages on its Pink October Board of Hope located at its Outpatient Centre lobby where it will be on display until October 31.
SJMC has pledged to donate RM5 to Cancer Research Malaysia for research programmes on the disease for every hope message pink ribbon pasted on the board.
Supporting the hospital’s pink fight is Malaysian vocalist Jaclyn Victor who joined SJMC chief executive officer Trish Hogan to pen the first messages of hope for breast cancer patients and survivors.
Women get mammograms to help detect breast cancer. 3D mammogram provides a highly detailed impression of the breast tissues at a faster scan time, better patient comfort and improved cancer detection rate.
SJMC provides 3D mammogram screening at only RM310 and the first 50 patients to register will receive a complimentary Xixili voucher worth RM80. For those who register for consultation at the breast clinic will receive a complimentary Xixili voucher worth RM100.
For more information on SJMC’s Board of Hope and Pink October Breast Cancer Programme, the public can visit its website at www.subangjayamedicalcentre.com or call the 24-hour Careline at 03 5639 1212.
