Abdul Kareem pointed out the importance of the female student being part of spreading awareness in her family and social surroundings, as prevention relies heavily on early knowledge.
For her part, Dr. Anwar Mohammed Al-Hashimi explained that Al-Kafeel Hospital is keen to provide the latest diagnostic technologies that contribute to detecting the disease in its early stages, which significantly raises recovery rates.
Al-Hashimi added that cooperation between the hospital and educational institutions enhances the potential for spreading health awareness and creates a protective knowledge environment within the academic community.
She noted that any change or sign observed by women should be treated with complete seriousness without negligence, emphasizing that health culture is the first line of defense against the disease.
This lecture comes as part of the program of the College of Basic Education for Girls at Al-Ameed University to spread health awareness among female students.
