The Byblos Castle was lit in pink on Sunday to raise awareness on early detection of breast cancer. The event was called on by the Lebanese Breast Cancer Foundation, Naef Basile Cancer Institute-AUBMC, the National Commission for Lebanese Women, the Directorate General of Antiquities, the ministry of culture and the Municipality of Jbeil. Jbeil mayor, Wissam Zaarur, hailed the initiative which, he explained, aims at spotlighting the importance of early detection and regular testing, as well as educate women about the various symptoms and the available treatments and methods of coping. For her part, the head of the NCLW Health Committee, Sausi Bauladian, stressed that female health is a strategic goal for the commission. She urged Lebanese women to do the periodic examinations, reminding them that the mammography and radiology tests are open at the government run hospitals and at reduced prices at sponsored private hospitals and clinics.
