World Breast Cancer Prevention Day, recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO), is an opportunity to highlight the importance of early detection and preventive care. Uniban and Turbana reaffirm their commitment to raising awareness about this disease by promoting actions that can save lives.
The Importance of Prevention and Early Detection
Breast cancer remains the most common type of cancer among women worldwide. However, through regular screenings, education, and awareness, we can significantly reduce its impact. Early detection increases the chances of successful treatment and improves the quality of life for those affected.
In Urabá, Colombia, where our main operations are located, we actively work to empower our communities with essential health and prevention information. Our goal is to ensure that everyone has the necessary tools to make informed decisions about their well-being.
Promoting Awareness and Self-Care in Urabá
Uniban and Turbana have developed various strategies to encourage self-care and health awareness in our communities. Through information campaigns and access to educational resources, we aim to strengthen a culture of prevention.
Some of our key initiatives include:
- Informational talks on the importance of self-examinations and regular medical check-ups.
- Distribution of educational materials across our farms.
- Partnerships with healthcare professionals to facilitate access to preventive screenings.
Preventive Actions That Save Lives
Early diagnosis can make a crucial difference in the fight against breast cancer. Some key recommendations include:
- Monthly breast self-examinations to detect any changes or abnormalities.
- Regular clinical screenings, especially for women over 40 years old or those with a family history of the disease.
- Adopting healthy habits, such as a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and reducing alcohol and tobacco consumption.
Our Commitment to Health and Well-Being
At Uniban and Turbana, we reaffirm our commitment to breast cancer prevention and to promoting a culture of well-being in our communities. We believe that education and early action can make a significant difference in many lives.
Let’s continue working together to raise awareness, promote prevention, and ensure more people have access to the information and resources they need to take care of their health.
