In addition to ping pong matches informative sessions were organized featuring Dr. Ilir KURTISHI from the Oncology Department Ms. Nafije LATIFI from Jeta Vita and Dr. Izet SADIKU from the Health Directorate who shared valuable information about breast cancer and the importance of early screening.

The use of the pink color on ping pong balls rackets and shirts symbolized solidarity with women seeking early diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer.
