Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women in Hong Kong, and October is the month to learn, act, and rally behind the fight against it.
Consider this: 1 in 14 women in Hong Kong is at risk of developing breast cancer before the age of 75, and that risk climbs with age. Early detection remains your strongest defence. Make regular self-checks a habit, book your screening, and encourage the women you love to do the same.
This month, there’s a whole movement to join. Wear pink, walk, donate, or simply start a conversation. Every gesture helps.
Mark your calendar: Dress in Pink on 23 October 2026!
