Awareness Seminar
The Women Empowerment Unit of the Biotechnology Research Center at Al-Nahrain University, in conjunction with the Women Empowerment Unit at The College of Science, organized an awareness and cultural seminar on breast cancer entitled “A Step Towards Life…Get Checked”.
The seminar was designed to promote the message that routine follow-up and examinations or even self-examinations or medical examinations are essential. Such practices empower women to be more preventive in disease management by ensuring they understand the signs and encouraging early detection of breast cancer. It improves the chances of recovery, quick response to treatment and halts the disease development.
The seminar was addressed by Assistant Professor Seham Imran Musa, President of the Iraqi Breast Cancer Fighting Association, N.J.O. and Dr. Ruaa Hamid Abdul Redha.
The women’s affairs unit of the university presidency oversaw the event as well as assistant Lecturer Rawa Adnan Khalaf who is the Women Empowerment Unit head at the Biotechnology Research Center
