THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER PINK OCTOBER CAMPAIGN. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE YOUR BREAST HEALTH SERIOUSLY. đź’—
This Pink October, POCCH (Dr. Peter Odili Cancer and Cardiovascular Hospital), together with our partners, is working towards providing up to 10,000 FREE mammogram screenings for women in our community.
Because too many women postpone screening.
Too many say, “I’ll do it later.”
And too many only seek answers when there is already a serious concern.
Early detection starts with taking that first step.
HERE’S HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
📍 Saturday, 10 October 2026
Join us for Pink Steps for Her, our breast cancer awareness walk in collaboration with Grace Life Foundation, as we take the message of breast health across Port Harcourt.
📍 Saturday, 24 October 2026
This is the main registration event at POCCH.
Eligible women must come to:
✔️ Register their details
✔️ Be enrolled for the campaign
✔️ Receive an assigned date for their free mammogram screening
The mammograms will be conducted over a period of time, not all on one day, so every registered woman can be properly accommodated.
Please note: Registration on 24 October is essential. If you do not register on that day, you will not be enrolled for this free mammogram initiative.
The screening is intended for women aged 35 years and above. If you are younger but have a strong family history of breast cancer, such as a mother or grandmother who has had breast cancer, you may need to begin screening earlier.
And if you’re not coming for yourself, come for someone you love.
Bring your mother.
Call your sister.
Tell your auntie.
Remind your friend.
Share this with the women in your life.
One appointment could bring answers.
