It is reported that the health department has requested that all women between the ages of 35 and 45 should refer to the Suvanari clinics in their health area to detect cervical and breast cancer.
It is said that in the press conference held yesterday (16) at the Health Promotion Bureau regarding cancer affecting women, the facts were explained.
Mr. Patmaka De Silva, Community Medical Specialist of the Family Health Bureau,
“The most common cancers among women are cervical and breast cancer and esophageal cancer. If a woman is sexually active and is between the ages of 35 and 45, attend Suvanari clinics.”
Medical Officer of Health Dr. Indika De Silva,
“All women can do breast self-examination on the 7th or 10th day after menstruation. Even today, we see cases where cancer is detected at the second or third stage and becomes extremely serious. Even today, women are not concerned about this. We invite you to visit your clinic at the village level. It has all the facilities. Your privacy and confidentiality will not be compromised at all.”
