As part of its Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign, Dr. Akbar Niazi Teaching Hospital (ANTH), a
constituent institution of GAK HealthCare International, organized an informative awareness session at
Headstart School Gulmohar Campus H11, Islamabad, aimed at educating young minds about the
importance of early detection, prevention, and self-care.
The session opened with Imran Ali Ghouri, GAK HealthCare’s Head of Communications, who shared the
vision and mission of GAK HealthCare, highlighting the world-class healthcare and educational facilities
at ANTH and Islamabad Medical & Dental College (IMDC). He also emphasized the group’s ongoing
commitment to community well-being through awareness activities and outreach programs.
Following this, Dr. Hira Saleem, Assistant Professor/General & Cancer Surgeon, delivered an engaging
and informative presentation on breast cancer risk factors, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment
options, including surgical procedures. She particularly stressed the importance of prevention through a
healthy lifestyle and the practice of regular breast self-examination, guiding students on how to perform
screening at home confidently and safely.
The principal and management of Headstart School expressed their heartfelt appreciation to the GAK
HealthCare team for conducting such an insightful and valuable session. They also requested that more similar educational and awareness activities be arranged in the future for students, parents, teachers,
and school staff.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the Head Start School team for their warm welcome and for joining
hands with us in spreading awareness that can help save lives.
