KARACHI: Umeed by LADIESFUND, an initiative of Dawood Global Foundation, has conducted a breast cancer awareness and empowerment session at the SINA Clinic at Shireen Jinnah, Karachi. The session continues the initiative’s efforts to make breast health education accessible to women through trusted community healthcare facilities.
The training focused on helping women understand breast cancer, recognize potential warning signs and appreciate the importance of early detection. Participants were encouraged to become more comfortable discussing breast health, pay attention to changes in their bodies and seek timely professional medical advice whenever needed.
By bringing these sessions into SINA’s community clinics, Umeed by LADIESFUND aims to make essential health information more accessible and actionable. The Shireen Jinnah session builds on previous trainings at SINA Jumma Goth and SINA Behbud Clifton, extending the programme’s reach through community-based healthcare settings.
“Breast cancer awareness is about more than information; it is about giving women the confidence to act on what they learn. By bringing these sessions into community clinics, Umeed by LADIESFUND is helping women feel more informed, take their health concerns seriously and understand the importance of seeking care early. Every woman reached is another step towards a more empowered and health-aware community.” – Sima Kamil, Co-Chair, Umeed by LADIESFUND
“We are grateful to Umeed by LADIESFUND, an initiative of Dawood Global Foundation, for continuing these important breast cancer awareness and empowerment trainings. The session at the SINA Clinic at Shireen Jinnah is helping make breast health awareness more accessible to women in the community.” – Dr. Sabeen Shah, Chief Medical Officer, SINA
“Every woman deserves to know how to look after her own health and recognize when something may not be right. Through Umeed by LADIESFUND, we are taking breast cancer awareness and empowerment training directly into SINA Clinics, including Shireen Jinnah. We want women to leave these sessions not fearful, but informed, confident and ready to take action.” – Tara Uzra Dawood, Founder, Umeed by LADIESFUND
“What makes this partnership between Umeed by LADIESFUND and SINA so meaningful is that it brings awareness directly to women in their own communities. The Umeed team’s training at the SINA Clinic at Shireen Jinnah is another important step in taking the conversation around breast cancer, early detection and women’s health to the grassroots.” – Iqbal Adamjee
Through its partnership with SINA, Dawood Global Foundation and Umeed by LADIESFUND continue to advance community-level breast health education, encouraging women to become more informed about their health, recognize potential warning signs and seek timely medical care.
