I feel honoured to have been invited to officiate at this important event as we mark the month of October as the Breast Cancer Month.

October is set aside by the world community to educate the public on the prevention and control of breast cancer as well as draw attention to the burden of breast cancer.

It is hoped that this will be the beginning of a sustained campaign to keep reminding the public on the importance of taking every measure to prevent breast cancer in Botswana.
