Breast Cancer Care was set up on March 20th, 2014 with the objectives to inform and sensitise public opinion about breast cancer. The force of Breast Cancer Care lies in its 100 members, which includes doctors, therapists, breast cancer survivors and volunteers.

What do we do?

Our main focus are conducting early detection campaigns and giving support to anyone concerned by breast cancer.
Our activities include:

  • Organising regularly seminars and workshops by our team of health professionals across the island for breast cancer awareness and to sensitise the women on the importance of early detection.
  • Doing frequent hospital visits to cancer patients to give them psychological and emotional support
  • Conducting weekly therapy consultations
  • Offering weekly empowerment activities
  • Distributing prosthesis, scarves, wigs, lymphedema compression sleeves and mastectomy bras freely
  • Organising physical activity sessions such as yoga, zumba and other training sessions such as IT for the breast cancer survivors
  • Offering free check ups with own up to date Ultra Sound machine
  • Organising outings for the patients 4 times a year

Moreover, our psychotherapist conducts both hospital and home visits.

Over the years, we

  • Have given more than 10,000 women free medical check-ups in Mauritius and in Rodrigues
  • Offered a breast reconstruction surgery to one of the patients
  • Bore the costs of further investigations upon suspicious cases detected during our regular campaigns.
