Breast cancer awareness: Linfodrome counters rumours and educates the public

On 26 October 2026, Linfodrome staff carried out an outreach campaign for Pink October from the area around their offices in Marcory Zone 4 to the main Koumassi crossroads in Abidjan. Shopkeepers, restaurant workers, students and passers-by received information in French and Dioula about breast cancer warning signs and the importance of early screening. The team explained that self-examination can help detect changes but does not replace a medical examination or recommended screening. It also stressed that the signs do not necessarily mean cancer and advised anyone concerned to consult a health professional.
