The Women Development Studies Center at Pir Mehr Ali Shah Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi organised a Pink Ribbon Day seminar focused on breast cancer awareness, underlining the importance of regular screenings, self-examinations and early diagnosis to improve survival and outcomes. Experts and campus leaders explained practical steps women can take and encouraged students and staff to adopt preventive habits.<\/p>\n
Prof. Dr. Qamar-uz-Zaman<\/strong>, Vice Chancellor of PMAS-AAUR, said breast cancer awareness must extend beyond annual campaigns into a continuous programme of prevention, early detection and education. He highlighted that lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise and timely check-ups play a key role in reducing risk factors and stressed the need for accessible screening services on campus and in the wider community.<\/p>\n Dr. Qaisara Parveen<\/strong>, Director of the Women Development Studies Center, emphasised that support networks are essential and called for family-level awareness so no woman faces breast cancer alone. She urged families to learn about self-examination techniques and to provide emotional and psychological support to patients, noting that encouragement from loved ones greatly affects recovery and wellbeing.<\/p>\n The event concluded with an awareness walk that saw participation from the Vice Chancellor along with the registrar, deans, directors, faculty members, administration and a large number of students, reflecting strong campus-wide commitment to breast cancer awareness. Attendees were reminded of the importance of timely screenings, regular self-exams and seeking medical advice at the first sign of concern, reinforcing the message that early detection saves lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PMAS-AAUR marks Pink Ribbon Day with a seminar and walk to boost breast cancer awareness, promoting screenings, self-exams and community support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":13095,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[94],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13096"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13096\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
