In a powerful show of corporate commitment to employee health and community well-being, NP (SL) Limited recently hosted a Breast Cancer Awareness Talk at its headquarters, conducted by experts from the Well Woman Clinic (MEPS Trust). The session formed part of NP’s ongoing efforts to raise awareness about breast cancer, one of the leading causes of death among women globally.
The awareness event was organized in observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, marked globally every October. This year’s theme: “No One Should Face Breast Cancer Alone,” highlights the importance of solidarity, support and collective action in the fight against the disease.
Representatives from Well Woman Clinic provided staff with valuable insights into early detection methods, self-examination techniques and available treatment options, emphasizing that timely medical attention significantly improves survival rates. The Clinic also encouraged both men and women to seek regular medical screenings and to support affected persons and survivors.
NP (SL) Limited’s Management reaffirmed that the company’s partnership with Well Woman Clinic each year is a reflection of its dedication to the health and wellness of its workforce. “We believe that empowering our employees with knowledge about preventive healthcare is part of our duty as a responsible corporate institution,” a company spokesperson noted.
