A community health initiative unites medical experts and Indonesian residents in Singapore to promote early detection, prevention, and empowerment in the fight against breast cancer
The Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia (KBRI) in Singapore, in collaboration with SingHealth, successfully organised the “Breast Cancer Awareness Workshop” on Sunday, 12 October 2025, at the Indonesian Embassy. The event drew over 200 participants from the Indonesian community in Singapore, underscoring the importance of health education and collective action in combating one of the most common cancers among women.
The workshop featured leading oncologists from the National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) and Singapore General Hospital (SGH), who shared comprehensive insights on breast cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment options. Participants engaged in interactive sessions that addressed common misconceptions, encouraged regular screenings, and highlighted lifestyle choices that contribute to better health outcomes.
Through initiatives such as this, KBRI Singapore and SingHealth reaffirm their shared commitment to improving the wellbeing and health awareness of Indonesian women living in Singapore. By fostering community dialogue and medical collaboration, the programme continues to build resilience and empower women with the knowledge that—together, we are stronger against breast cancer.
