The Tbilisi TV tower was illuminated in pink to mark International Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Tbilisi City Hall reported.

“As a sign of solidarity with breast cancer prevention, it is important that in recent years our capital has joined the global campaign and the Tbilisi TV tower is lit up in the symbolic color. Within the framework of ‘Pink October,’ various events are also held to raise awareness about cancer screening. This is another way to remind citizens of the importance of timely treatment to prevent advanced stages of the disease and fatal cases,” said Eter Kiguradze, Director of the National Screening Center.

The initiative was carried out by the National Screening Center with the support of Tbilservice Group LLC.

According to the program, women aged 40 to 70 are eligible for free state-funded breast cancer screening.

For registration, citizens can contact the National Screening Center at 2 20 35 35. Screening services are available at the following locations: Saburtalo, M. Aleksidze N1, Didube, Ak. Tsereteli N69, Varketili, Kaloubani N12, Gldani, IV microdistrict N113 A.
