On 19th October, 2024, the Medical Women’s Association of Zambia, various cooperate organizations and members of the public met for a wellness and physical training (aerobics session) and breast screening at East Park Mall to commemorate Breast Cancer Month. On hand was the MWAZ President, Dr Joyce Sakala who highlighted the value MWAZ places on the wellness of women and their families. The event was graced by the Lusaka Clinical Care Head, Dr Siachapa who emphasized the importance of awareness events on cancer as the survival rate in Zambia is low hence the need to spread prevention and screening messages. Dr Enelesi Lungu Anderson, the MWAZ Vice President shared insights on signs and symptoms of breast cancer. The Secretary General for MWAZ, Dr Malita Kasongo Phiri and Publicity Secretary, Dr Nancy Mbasela MCed the beautiful and well attended event. Dr Elisa Boaz Mayondi, member of the MWAZ executive committee, RDAZ Representative, Directors from Cooperates, Zambia Army lady’s matrons and vice were among other notable attendees.
