Rotary Club donates breast prostheses and mastectomy bras to breast cancer survivors

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Breast cancer survivors recovering from surgery will benefit from a donation of breast prostheses and specialised mastectomy bras from the Rotary Club of downtown Kingston, in partnership with Precision Imaging Center, to help restore confidence, improve comfort and preserve dignity beyond treatment.

The items were handed over to Jamaica Reach To Recovery at the Jamaica Cancer Society on Wednesday, October 21, providing practical assistance to women who have undergone mastectomies and may face financial challenges accessing products that support their recovery and adjustment to changes in their bodies.

Derrick Bernard, president of the Rotary Club of downtown Kingston, said the initiative was inspired by the loss of a friend to breast cancer and his desire to honour her memory by making a meaningful difference in the lives of other women affected by the disease.
