The Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) has launched a dedicated Breast Cancer Support Group in a significant step towards providing emotional and psychosocial support to breast cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers. The newly established group aims to offer a safe space for peer support, educational workshops, and coping strategies for those affected by breast cancer. It is part of the hospital’s broader commitment to delivering comprehensive, patient-centred cancer care. “We will be combating the big C (Cancer) with 3 Cs – Care, Compassion, Community – and strive to instil hope in women who suffer from breast cancer. The lessons and successes we observe in this breast cancer support group will inform the establishment of other cancer-specific support groups in the future,” said Professor Mansoor Saleh, Chair of the Department of Haematology and Oncology at AKUH.
