Debbie Shiell CEO of Ovarian Cancer Australia spoke to SBS Kurdish about Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 2026. She highlights that Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month is about raising public awareness of ovarian cancer, particularly because many Australians do not know about the signs, symptoms, and severity of the disease. The month’s activities aim to address knowledge gaps, help people recognise symptoms earlier, and prompt more informed conversations about ovarian cancer.
