The Constabulary raised over K90,000 last year, mostly from donations coming from generous individuals and corporate entities in NCD and Central Province.
Furthermore, Dr. Mitna stated that anyone in the society can one day fall victim to cancer, and once again appealed to the residents of NCD both within the private and public sector and the corporate entities, to support this worthy cause.
"The Pinktober initiative is all about uniting people in the fight against cancer. They must help each other to protect and fight against cancer in the community," Dr Mitna pointed out,
