The Krka National Park strongly supports the fight against breast cancer
Education, prevention, and support are key elements in the fight for women's health
October is the month of the fight against breast cancer, when numerous public health events are organised throughout the Republic of Croatia to highlight the importance of the early detection of breast cancer and regular diagnostic examinations.
With regular screening, which includes self-examination, mammography, and breast ultrasound examinations, breast cancer can be detected at an early stage, when the chances of a cure are much higher. More than 90% of breast cancer patients have a chance to be cured if the diagnosis is made in the initial stages and the disease is treated correctly.
Aware of the role of education and prevention in the fight against breast cancer, the Krka National Park strongly supports the work of local associations in the fight against cancer. As part of the competition for financing projects of associations from the budget of the Krka National Park, we recognized and decided to support the project "Exercise and nutrition in the prevention of cancer" of the Drniš Anti-Cancer League and the project "Improving the quality of life of patients and their families" of the Anti-Cancer League of Šibenik-Knin County.
"In the Krka National Park, we not only care about the preservation of nature, but also about the well-being of our fellow citizens and the prosperity of the entire community. That's why we provide support to associations that try to make life easier for cancer patients and their families, but also encourage prevention among our fellow citizens", said the director of the Krka National Park, Nella Slavica, and added: "Every day, and especially during this month, it is important to comprehend that regular examinations can play a key role in detecting breast cancer in the early stages, when the chances of a cure are much higher, and that is why as a director, and above all as a woman, I want to highlight the importance of all initiatives and projects aimed at fighting this malignant disease and to thank the people who invest their time and effort in it."
The Krka National Park remains dedicated to supporting such valuable projects and cooperating with the local community in order to together strengthen awareness of the importance of preventive screening and also support for cancer patients.
