Basseterre, St. Kitts October 14, 2026 – Over 55 persons attended the free Breast Cancer Screening held at Prime Health Medical, located at Cayon Street, opposite the Wesleyan Holiness Church, on Tuesday, October 13, 2026. President of Reach for Recovery SKB, Ms. Patricia Farrell indicated that she was quite pleased with the support from the public. She added, what was even more notable, was that there was an increase in the number of men who turned up to be tested. Dr. Rohan Nariani, who spearheads this initiative every year, also expressed his satisfaction, noting that awareness and prevention save lives.
Reach for Recovery SKB was pleased to partner with Prime Health Medical and the Lions Club who sold pink lemonade at the event, on this important mission of spreading the word, especially during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Student nurses from the Windsor University also assisted with screening. A team of Reachers was on hand to register participants and to provide support. One Reacher, Nurse Ida Martin who is a retired nurse, took blood pressure and sugar readings of persons who attended the event, as the overall health and wellbeing of persons in the community, is our primary focus.
