A breast cancer awareness campaign began in Chattogram on 1 October, organised jointly by the city corporation, CSCR and PGS Academia.

Organisers announced that a mobile screening bus would visit parts of the city each Saturday in October from 3pm to 6pm. CSCR at Prabortak Mor is also offering free screening and counselling for women during the month, from 3pm to 6pm.

The reports describe the announced programme, rather than independently checked attendance or outcomes. Residents should confirm locations and availability with the organisers before travelling; individual assessment remains a matter for qualified clinicians.
