Apollo Hospital Holds Breast Cancer Awareness Program in Nellore
A hospital in Nellore, India, held a special event to teach women about breast cancer.
They called the event 'Chek-Olate' and it happened in October, which is a month dedicated to breast cancer awareness.
Doctors explained that women over 40 should check their own breasts every month.
If they can't do that, they should get a special test at the doctor's office every year.
This helps find cancer early when it's easier to treat.
Apollo Specialty Hospital in Nellore organized a breast cancer awareness program for women.
The program, named 'Chek-Olate', is part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month observed in October.
Doctors emphasized the importance of monthly breast self-examinations for women over 40.
