  • AXA Mansard observes Breast Cancer awareness month

    AXA Mansard Insurance Plc, a member of AXA Group, has  observed the just concluded Breast Cancer Awareness month.

    In a statement by the firm, Breast Cancer Awareness Week, which is observed around the world in October, is an annual international campaign organised by major breast cancer charities to increase awareness of the disease.

    The week is also used to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, cure and offers information and support to those affected by the disease.

    AXA Mansard Health Limited Chief Executive Officer, Tope Adeniyi, said there has not been any sure way to prevent breast cancer yet.

    He said: “This is why it is so important to conduct regular screenings. Women need to talk to their doctors on the benefits of screenings and self-Breast examinations and risk factors. It has become increasingly important for women to be active participants in their breast health.

    “There are about 1.38 million new cases and 458,000 deaths from breast cancer each year. Breast cancer is by far the most common cancer in women worldwide, both in the developed and developing countries. Majority of deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries, where people are diagnosed at late stages mainly due to lack of awareness on early detection and barriers to health services. Early detection is critical to survival. It is, therefore, important to educate both men and women about the importance of early detection, and critical conversations about appropriate screenings with their healthcare provider.

    “To emphasise and highlight the increasing importance of early detection and screening, AXA Mansard carried out a number of activities, including a breast cancer awareness talk, breast self-examination training, nutritional assessment and, general wellness screening in the month of October.  At AXA Mansard, we remain at the forefront of health maintenance and continue to strive towards making a difference in the lives of people as we join in the fight against breast cancer. We remain resolute in making the world a healthier place.”
