For Pink October<\/strong>, CFAO highlights the importance of breast cancer screening and the dangers of purchasing anti-cancer medicines outside official networks.<\/p>\n

According to the WHO, Africa is the continent with the highest breast cancer mortality rate in the world.
\nWhy?\u00a0Because diagnosis often comes too late, healthcare infrastructure remains limited, and prevention and treatment programs are still insufficient.<\/p>\n

Another scourge exacerbates this reality: due to lack of resources, many patients turn away from official medicine distribution networks and resort to informal street markets, where falsified medicines proliferate.<\/p>\n

In our white paper<\/strong> \u201cSecuring the medicine distribution network in Africa\u201d, co-authored with the OPALS Foundation, we emphasize the importance of raising awareness about official distribution networks by mobilizing the media, opinion leaders and healthcare professionals.<\/p>\n

Like every year, CFAO\u2019s subsidiaries are taking action during Pink October with breast cancer awareness and screening initiatives to protect their employees and the population.<\/p>\n
