Pink October health campaign in Oujda
Following Pink October, the Ministry of Health and Social Protection launched a national awareness and early detection campaign for breast and cervical cancers. The goal is to promote a culture of prevention, improve treatment opportunities, and reduce mortality rates. The campaign includes awareness activities and events to encourage women to undergo regular screenings, especially mammograms, which have seen an increase in the number of examinations in recent years. Data confirms that early detection plays a crucial role in the timely diagnosis of both cancers, facilitating early medical intervention and decreasing the likelihood of disease progression. Figures indicate 324 new cases of breast cancer in 2024 and 344 cases in 2025, alongside a rise in screening numbers. Meanwhile, approximately 2,228 cases of cervical cancer were recorded in Morocco in 2024, highlighting the need to raise awareness about preventive screenings and HPV vaccination to reduce incidence rates.
