Dear Member

October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month—a time to “think pink” and shine a light on the most commonly diagnosed cancer among South African women. Early detection saves lives, and this month we feature essential insights into risk factors, screening options, and how self-examinations can empower you to take charge of your health.

In this edition, we also cover other important health topics that highlight the value of knowledge and small actions:

Remember, every step toward awareness is a step toward wellness. Wishing you a healthy month ahead.
