THE National Committee of Sisters’ Affairs (NACOSA) held a very successful cancer screening camp at the Masjid compound in Adelphi, East Canje Berbice in 2013, and of the more than 100 women tested, 22 needed follow-up treatments.

This camp was facilitated by Dr. Ghazi and his team from the Guyana Cancer Institute.

NACOSA will be hosting another health camp at the Masjid compound at Meten-Meer-Zorg West, West Coast Demerara, this Sunday.

Inshallah will be held from 10am to 4pm, with an emphasis on cancer screening. Muslim and non-Muslim women from all neighbouring communities are invited to participate in the camp, and are being urged to invite their neighbours, families and friends to participate as well.
