As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Fakeeh Group – Madinah launched a series of comprehensive awareness activities throughout the month of October. These initiatives aimed to educate the community about the importance of early detection, breast cancer screening, understanding risk factors, and adopting healthier lifestyle practices.
