National initiative to fight breast cancer kicks off from Kilinochchi

The Island

October 09, 2025

Lives of three Sri Lankan women claimed by the disease each day

Over 1,000 participants took part in Sri Lanka’s first-ever nationwide TLC Triathlon, an initiative to fight breast cancer through awareness and early detection. The event was held in Kilinochchi on 05 October.

This unprecedented gathering, unlike anything Kilinochchi has ever seen, brought together students, teachers, families, and community members - all carrying one message home: Every woman above the age of 20 must perform a self-breast examination once a month.
