Bank of Maldives Extends Support To Cancer Awareness Program

Internationally, the month of October is celebrated as Pinktober with many activities and events planned to raise awareness on breast cancer. As part of the activities for the month, Cancer Society of Maldives (CSM) organized the annual ‘Pink Ribbon Run-Walk’ to create awareness among the public on breast cancer. During the event, Bank of Maldives (BML) assisted and supported the CSM to successfully conduct the program.

Since 2016, BML has actively remained a supporting partner of the run-walk for CSM. This year’s ‘Pink Ribbon Run-Walk’ took place in Hulhumale’ and in 33 various islands across the country simultaneously. Moreover, BML also donated MVR 150,000 to CSM in the hopes of widening the scope of cancer awareness programs and to provide psychosocial support to cancer patients, caregivers and families.

In addition to this, the bank also announced that they will be extending support to the cancer screening program held by CSM in Faafu Atoll. Earlier in the month, the two parties collaborated to conduct a cancer screening program for BML staff as per the long-standing partnership between the two institutions.
