The women’s Affairs Unit at the Medical Technical Institute/Mosul organizes a workshop entitled: (Early detection of breast cancer… A simple step to a healthy life)
Under the patronage of the president of the northern Technical University, professor Dr. Alia Abbas Al-Attar, and the supervision of the dean of the Medical Technical Institute / Mosul, assistant professor Dr. Mohammed Fadel Haddad, the women’s affairs unit, in cooperation with the Department of Radiology technologies, organized an awareness workshop entitled:
(Early detection of breast cancer… A simple step to a healthy life).
The lecture was delivered by:
Teacher Dr. Zaid Khader Mahmoud
Assistant teacher Susan Hassan Hamoudi
The workshop included important topics that focused on:
1. The importance of early detection of breast cancer and its role in raising recovery rates and reducing complications.
2. Definition of the symptoms of the disease and risk factors that may increase the likelihood of infection.
3. View the available medical examinations and explain the mechanism for conducting breast self-examination.
4. Encouraging women to undergo free periodic examinations in health centers.
5. Promote psychosocial support for infected women and survivors of the disease.
The workshop witnessed a wide interaction by the participants from female teachers, staff and students, because it included scientific information and practical awareness applications that contribute to raising the level of health awareness in the university community.
At the end of the workshop, I came up with a number of recommendations, the most prominent of which are:
. The need to intensify health awareness campaigns in the formations of the northern Technical University.
. Allocate monthly educational programs aimed at female students and employees about periodic self-examination.
. Strengthen cooperation with health institutions to organize periodic free examinations.
. Encouraging scientific research that deals with the early detection and simplified treatment of tumors.
