Trusted for Every Generation
Far beyond a typical awareness drive, “The Breast Thing I Ever Had” presented a fresh, emotional take on women’s health. It redefined breast cancer awareness as a journey of empowerment, encouraging every woman, young or old, to take ownership of her wellbeing through screening, education, and support.

Throughout the morning, stories of survivorship and resilience echoed across the hall, reminding attendees that awareness is not only about medical facts, but also about connection, empathy, and community.

Empowering Communities Beyond the Hospital Walls
As part of the launch, DSH extended its outreach by presenting donation cheques to several breast cancer NGOs. These collaborations continue to strengthen the hospital’s community initiatives, ensuring that health education and screening programmes reach wider audiences across Malaysia.
