the hod oncology department, assistant professor dr. sajid ghafoor from szmc&h was the chief guest and the speaker of the seminar. because of having past experience in shoukat khanam memorial hospital & research center he had hefty cancer related data of past 10 years to share with the audience. he shared with the audience very informative and eye opening facts about pink ribbon and breast cancer. he specifically talked about pakistani women and stressed that since the issue is not brought up openly, many women reach stage 3rd and 4th of breast cancer which increases the number of deaths from it.
