On the occasion of Blood Cancer Awareness Month, the College calls for promoting health awareness and supporting early diagnosis by joining the global community in observing World Blood Cancer Awareness Month (September). This initiative stems from its academic and social responsibility to foster health literacy, affirming that sharing accurate knowledge is the first step toward saving lives through early detection and medical intervention.
Blood cancer—including leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma—refers to diseases that impair the production and function of blood cells within the bone marrow and lymphatic system. Prompt screening upon noticing unusual physical changes plays a vital role in improving treatment response and recovery rates.

Key signs and symptoms requiring medical consultation:

• Persistent, extreme fatigue that is unexplained and unrelated to physical exertion.
• Unexplained and sudden weight loss, accompanied by a loss of appetite.
• Recurrent fevers, profuse night sweats, and increased susceptibility to infections.
• Unexplained bruising or unusual bleeding (such as easy bleeding from the gums or nose).
• Painless swelling of lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, or groin.
• Bone and joint pain, or noticeable pale skin.

The Deanship of the College invites all faculty members, staff, and students to actively take part in disseminating awareness messages and supporting patients and their families. Every piece of reliable health information we share can make a real difference and save a life. Let us all be an active part of the circle of awareness.

Stay safe and healthy...
