Women are often the ones making sure everyone else is well – taking children to school, caring for ageing parents, supporting their partners and keeping the household running. Amidst these responsibilities, their own health checks can easily fall to the bottom of the list, highlights Mandy Thoo, deputy director of Community Engagement at the National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM).
Thoo was speaking at The Pink Hour, a month-long initiative dedicated to raising awareness and supporting individuals and families affected by breast cancer, held in conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

女性往往承担着照顾他人健康的责任——送孩子上学、照顾年迈的父母、支持伴侣、维持家庭运转。马来西亚国家癌症协会（NCSM）社区参与副主任曼迪·图指出，在承担这些责任的同时，她们自身的健康检查很容易被忽略。
Thoo是在“粉红时刻”活动上发表讲话的。“粉红时刻”是一项为期一个月的活动，旨在提高人们对乳腺癌的认识，并为受乳腺癌影响的个人和家庭提供支持，该活动与乳腺癌宣传月同期举行。
