Highest Breast Cancer Rate in Pakistan, #ThinkPink

Do you know which country in the world has the 'maximum number of breast cancer' victims? Pakistan. According to reports, our country tops the list when it comes to breast cancer and our ladies suffer from this - the most than any other country in the world. According to World Health Organization (WHO), over more than 40,000 women die each year from breast cancer in Pakistan. Under societal pressure, females shy away from receiving treatment for their disease. Mostly the patients of breast cancer  begin receiving treatment when their disease is at an advanced stage which makes it un-treatable. To all the females  please do ensure that you guys get your monthly and annually physical check ups done in order to keep yourself prevented from this. It's not about shying away but it's about taking measures to keep you, your siblings, your family and friends safe. Pakistan has the highest rate of breast cancer victims, so that should be alarming. You never know what's inside you. See your doctors, soon!
In 2016, an estimated 246,660 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed, and about 40,450 women are expected to die in 2016.

Though decline in death rates can be achieved through advance treatment, earlier detection, and "Increase Awareness". Millions of women battle breast cancer every day, everywhere you turn you will find a mother, sister, or a daughter who has been affected by it. Support us in the cause of spreading awareness for a better and healthier tomorrow for women across the globe. #ThinkPink
