Breast Cancer Awareness Support Group
Since women detect 90 percent of breast cancer symptoms themselves,
cancer awareness is extremely relevant for every woman. The Group
organises awareness workshops covering important issues such as:
• Knowledge and awareness of breast
cancer
• Identifying high risk individuals
• Importance of self-examination
and regular medical check-ups
• Mammograms for early detection
• Healthy lifestyle
Diagnosed patients can rely on support from group members for
emotional support, sharing personal experiences and responding
to important questions. The support group collaborates with specialist
physicians, gynaecologists and the Kenya Cancer Association and
the Nairobi Hospice.
Volunteer groups operate independently of the Hospital. While
they are not part of the medical programme, they play an important
public service role. The views expressed by these groups do not
necessarily reflect those of the Hospital.
