The Association of citizens “Silent Sream” from Kalesija paid a visit to the Daily hospice yesterday, and on the occasion delivered forty silicon prosthesis to breast cancer patients.
“The aim of this visit is to raise awareness about breast cancer, but also to provide support to those who have been affected by breast cancer.” said Hajra Bajrić Jahić, president of “Silent Scream” association.
“October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but also it is the forth birthday of the Association “Silent Scream”. That is the reason that members of the Association on the occasion spent some time associating with patients who are hospitalized at the Center for Palliative Care.
“Women who are affected by breast cancer often would hide and avoid sharing information with families and friends about the disease. We would like to raise awareness among these women and to reduce the stigma of breast cancer.” said Hajra Bajrić Jahić, and pointed the need for establishing of a supreme community which will unite all related associations in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
