I am glad that today, respecting the protocols, measures against the spread of Covid -19, we are back with a panel discussion, in which well-known specialists and representatives of society will refer to the necessity of breast cancer awareness.

Dean of the Faculty of Medical Sciences, Doc. Dr. Nexhibe Nuhii welcomed the initiative of the Scientific Group, which operates within this faculty, for the extraordinary contribution and commitment they give to the benefit of health. “I am very proud of the work of our students. I also thank the participants in this panel for their commitment regarding the dissemination of information on breast cancer. To educate a girl, you have educated a family, a society, because the basis of family and society is the female. Therefore, there should be healthy women in society. I appeal, as dean, professor, mother, that every woman should take care of her health, make regular check-ups, do examinations, and take care to present every sign to the doctor, because cancer is a pathology that does not manifest with signs of pain. Therefore, regular check-ups should be done to detect it in time, because the earlier it is detected, the more the chances for its cure increase. All of you brave women, sisters, mothers, and daughters, who are affected by this disease, but have not given up, we ask you to share your stories with other women and girls, because in this way you will help to discover early, you will save lives! “There is nothing more valuable than human life, so we must value it”, – said the Dean of the Faculty of Medical Sciences, Doc. Dr. Nexhibe Nuhii.

He said that people are still not convinced that with early treatment of breast cancer, we can ensure longevity, but at the same time we can provide a better quality of life for these patients. It is a period when we should all engage in all phases of breast cancer treatment, starting from the prevention phase, respectively its identification, as well as the early treatment of breast cancer.
