Whilst the month of October is dedicated to breast cancer awareness, the Worship's Aid Foundation in partnership with various institutions and organisations will champion breast health awareness, breastcancer awareness and breast cancer screening. Age, family history, inherited genes, or gender cannot be changed but what is important as far as breast cancer is concerned is the variable associated with the chance of increased breast cancer. Breast cancer awareness was created to inform, educate and persuade individuals about the cause and the visible symptoms of the disease. In October, breast cancer awareness is intensified to reduce stigmatisation and get as many people as possible in raising funds to support life-saving research and life-changing support, a clear example is funds raised to buy a mammogram, the machine used inchecking breast cancer. This disruption in cancer care and breast cancer awareness has asignificant impact on patients, healthcare practitioners, and health systems.
