Islamabad: (Parliament Times) To mark October 2017 as the Breast Cancer Awareness month, Islamabad Diagnostic Centre (Pvt) Ltd being a premier diagnostic facility in the twin city is actively participating by offering 50% discount on all Breast Cancer Diagnostic tests such as X-Ray Mammography, Sono Mammography, MR Mammography, FNACs, Tru cut Biopsies and Tumor Markers for month of October.
As the ratio of breast cancer in women is alarmingly increased in the last few decades IDC aims to educate all women about its prevention & early diagnosis. Different activities like online awareness campaigns on various social mediums, bulk emails, e-brochures, in-house awareness sessions etc. have been organized by IDC to highlight the issue.
