Minister Koçiu's strong appeal/ "Perform periodic checks and make as many girls and women aware as possible"

Minister of Health, Albana Koçiu

The Minister of Health, Albana Koçiu, and the Mayor of Lezha, Pjerin Ndreu, appealed to women and girls to perform examinations not only during Pink October, but also in the following months.

Koçiu pointed out that the women of Fishta i Lezha are extremely busy in this community due to the influx of tourists almost throughout the year and often neglect the necessary health checks.

On the side of girls and women, the minister appealed to them to take just a few minutes out of their busy day and do periodic health checks.

She said that October is the month of awareness about the disease of breast cancer, which unfortunately is very widespread and is always spreading even more.

Koçiu added that although this disease has a high fatality rate, fortunately if it is diagnosed in time it is completely curable.

"That's why we really want to give the opportunity to every woman who doesn't have the opportunity. That's why it's important to raise your voice and all your sisters, friends, friends, mothers to do it together and remind them constantly that it's very important that they do periodic breast check-ups because this is how we can save lives. This is the only way we can prevent it in time and get diagnosed early and thanks to the doctors and all the equipment we have made available, in this particular case mobile mammograms, we can we can detect this disease early and cure it in time", underlined the minister.

The Ministry of Health and Social Protection made it possible for the mobile mammography service to reach girls and women in Fishtë of Lezha for the first time, as part of the breast cancer awareness month./ CNA
