Clinics that volunteered to participate in the pink ribbon campaign will offer free screening to women of over 30 years of age, on October 15 and 29. The measure was initiated by the Charity Organization of Iran Cancer Institute to help in early diagnosis of breast cancer among women, Mehr News Agency reported. October is observed as the international Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the pink ribbon campaign in Iran was launched on October 1 at Tehran Milad Tower to increase awareness about ways to deal with the disease. Women can register at bc.cancercharity.ir to be referred to the closest health center and get examined by cancer specialists.
