Pakistan has the highest rate of breast cancer for any Asian population in the world. Breast cancer accounts for 38.5 percent of all female cancers, making it the most frequent malignancy in women. It claims 40,000 lives each year. Due to lack of information on breast cancer in Pakistan, only advanced cases are reported.

In the effort to mark October as the breast cancer awareness month Warid has begun circulating awareness messages to its subscribers and has uploaded the Pink Ribbon banner on its website.
