Moreover, this program is in line with the third Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) goal, namely a Healthy and Prosperous Life and the fifth SGD goal, namely Gender Equality. We are committed to continuing to support, encourage cross-sector synergy to improve the quality of life of Indonesian Women."

Dr. Yadi, Sp.PD, as the keynote speaker, added that early detection is the most effective step in reducing breast cancer mortality. "Regular check-ups are very important so that any abnormalities can be detected early, thus increasing the chances of recovery," he explained.
