THE newly-elected committee members of the Brunei Breast Cancer Support Group (BBCSG) have held their first meeting this year.
The non-profit group that was established to create awareness, education and a platform in support of patients with breast cancer has a long history of achievements in the community.
Its President, Hajah Aminah binti Haji Momin, explained to the Bulletin that donations and contributions from the general public are highly regarded and significant, as the funds are utilised to purchase items and equipment that are necessary for the health and well-being of patients suffering from breast cancer.
She added that there will be a ‘Forum Perdana’ to mark the World Cancer Day on February 4 at The Brunei Cancer Centre in Jerudong, where there will also be exhibitions and items on general sale to raise funds for breast cancer.
