ISLAMABAD: Hashoo Group, in collaboration with Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital and Cancer Research Centre, actively worked towards spreading awareness on the early detection of breast cancer.
Statistics show that one in every nine Pakistani women develop breast cancer at least once during the span of their lives. It is possible to prevent thousands of deaths caused by breast cancer with early detection. Therefore, calling attention to this awareness remained the topmost corporate social responsibility of Hashoo Group, this October.

Keeping the tradition alive, once again, this year the teams of Shaukat Khanum Memorial visited all Hashoo Group’s hotels across Pakistan, including Pearl-Continental Hotels, Marriott Hotels and Hotel One.
During the visit they educated our staff, guests, and associates on the importance of early detection, self-examination, the signs of breast cancer, as well as the importance of having regular mammograms from age 40.
