Avancera Solution Hosts Pinktober Event to Raise Awareness of Breast Cancer
October 18, 2024 – Avancera Solution proudly arranged Pinktober, a global initiative to raise awareness for breast cancer. The event united employees under the shared goal of supporting those affected by the disease. It was a heartfelt expression of solidarity with women battling breast cancer, particularly in Pakistan, where the disease remains a critical health concern.
Breast Cancer in Pakistan and Around the Globe
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide, and Pakistan bears one of the highest incidences in Asia. An estimated 83,000 cases of breast cancer are reported annually in Pakistan, with nearly 40,000 women tragically losing their lives due to the disease. Many of these deaths are preventable, as late diagnosis and lack of awareness remain significant barriers to effective treatment.
Globally, breast cancer continues to be a major health issue, with over 2.3 million new cases reported annually as of 2024. Despite advances in detection and treatment, it remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women, particularly in regions where healthcare systems are underfunded or inaccessible.
In Pakistan, many women face additional challenges, including social stigma, limited access to medical facilities, and the high cost of cancer treatments. While some organizations have made strides in providing care, the overall lack of medical infrastructure in rural areas exacerbates the struggle. Women, especially in rural and low-income communities, often delay seeking treatment due to societal pressures or a lack of awareness about early detection methods such as mammograms and self-examinations.
A Message from Avancera Solution COO, Sana Moosvi
At the Pinktober event, Avancera Solution Chief Operating Officer Sana Moosvi delivered inspiring thoughts that resonated deeply with attendees. She emphasized the importance of standing by the women in our lives who are affected by breast cancer.
“Supporting women in our families, communities, and workplaces is not just a responsibility—it’s an honor,” said Moosvi. “Empowering them in their journey, whether through emotional support or ensuring they have access to the best medical care, is crucial. We must help them overcome the physical battle and the psychological challenges they face. In doing so, we empower them to pursue their dreams, irrespective of their circumstances.”
Moosvi further highlighted the need for organizations to play a more active role in raising awareness and providing tangible support to women at risk of or suffering from breast cancer. Her call to action underscored the importance of collective efforts in fighting the disease, from promoting early detection to advocating for better healthcare facilities.
Avancera Solution’s Commitment
Avancera Solution’s Pinktober event was more than just an internal gathering—it was a step toward greater awareness and action against breast cancer. The company remains committed to supporting causes that uplift the communities it serves, particularly regarding women’s health. By fostering dialogue and encouraging early detection, Avancera Solution hopes to contribute to a future where fewer women lose their lives to this devastating disease.
