through her daughter, Aur\u00e9lie, and her entire family; through the countless breast cancer warriors who continue their own battles; and through the G\u00e9raldine Toussaint Breast Cancer Care Centre, inaugurated this morning at Dr Bruno Cheong Hospital, Flacq.<br \/>This is why I joined Honourable Deputy Prime Minister Arianne Navarre-Marie; Honourable Minister Anil Bachoo; Mrs Shamima Patel, healthcare professionals, survivors, partners and G\u00e9raldine&#8217;s loved ones for this deeply meaningful occasion.<br \/>Breast cancer is not simply a women&#8217;s issue. <br \/>It is a national concern.<br \/>We must encourage regular screening, breast self-examinations, timely medical consultations and open conversations, free from fear or stigma.<br \/>Men also have a vital role to play:<br \/>As husbands, fathers, sons, brothers, colleagues and friends who can encourage the women in their lives to seek screening, and offer the love and reassurance that make a profound difference.<br \/>I pay tribute to the countless breast cancer warriors whose courage inspires us every day.<br \/>I also honour the families and caregivers who walk this journey alongside them, and the dedicated healthcare professionals whose commitment brings hope to patients every single day.<br \/>I commend Mrs Shammima Patel for transforming her own experience with breast cancer into a remarkable mission of service.<br \/>May this centre always be a place where every patient and every family find dignity, compassion and hope, as we continue to stand together. <br \/>As One People, As One Nation. \ud83e\udd0d\ud83c\uddf2\ud83c\uddfa<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>G\u00e9raldine
