The city of Damascus witnessed on Friday the holding of a marathon to raise awareness about the early detection of breast cancer amid civil and youth participation.
The marathon which is held under the title of “You Are Life… Our Strength is Yours” kicked off from al-Jalaa Sports Club in Damascus and ended up at the Sheraton Hotel with artistic and recreational activities.
The month of October is linked to the pink color to raise global awareness of breast cancer, the most common cancer among women, with 2 million new cases worldwide in 2018, according to figures from the Global Fund for Cancer Research.
In Syria, a national campaign to raise awareness about the early detection of breast cancer coinciding with the month of global awareness of the disease provides free medical examinations and tests in dozens of health centers distributed in the provinces.
