Guest Speaker's Topic : What everyone needs to know about the human breast

Overview : Mention the word breast, and you may get some sniggles and some cheeky smiles. On the serious side of things, 1 in 10 women in Singapore and 1 in 7 in the US get breast cancer. Learn what everyone needs to know about breast health, because knowledge will save lives, and save breasts.
