Our Camps
At PinkDetect, our camps are transformative gatherings where women from Pakistan's underserved communities receive not only vital breast health education but also practical support and resources. Each camp begins with assessing participants' existing knowledge, followed by interactive educational sessions using our app and digital content. Personal consultations with healthcare professionals address individual concerns, while free supplements underscore our commitment to holistic care. Integral to our mission, these gatherings are designed to dismantle stigma and enhance healthcare accessibility.

Awarness is the first step
In Pakistan, breasts are often viewed more as sexual symbols than as health organs, leading many women to shy away from discussions about breast health. At the start of our camps, it's not uncommon to see participants covering their faces with dupattas. However, through our educational sessions, these women gradually gain confidence and become more informed about their breast health. This newfound confidence encourages them to undergo our complimentary clinical breast exams—procedures many have never experienced before due to cultural conservatism. This life-changing approach has been pivotal, allowing us to detect 20 tumors, both benign and cancerous, and significantly impacting women's health outcomes.
