It\u2019s important for them to know that when they do, they seek and get medical help. We highly value, at the Kigali Marriott Hotel, the health of our staff members, hence campaigning and facilitating ways in which they can learn more about their health status because it\u2019s directly linked to their delivery at both a personal and professional level,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Christa Nkurunziza, a staff at the hotel commended her employer for preparing the activity which helped them gain knowledge on breast cancer. She highlighted that she now knows that not only women can be infected with the breast cancer but it can attack men as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI learned that I should always do regular medical checkup and educate youth about breast cancer and let them know that it does not attack a single group of people,\u201d said Nkurunziza.<\/p>\n<p>The Director and founder of the Breast Cancer Initiative East Africa, Philippa Kibugu-Decuir, revealed that the idea of founding this organization came after her sibling died of cancer for lack of proper and timely treatment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI decided to make my humble contribution. As a breast cancer survivor, I teach people on the dangers of breast cancer and how they can avoid it,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>In her message to the Kigali Marriott Hotel staff, Kibugu sensitized them to take care of their health by avoiding excess consumption of alcohol, tobacco and obesity which are risk factors to cancer. She also reminded them to regularly conduct medical checkups to know how their health stands. <\/p>\n<p>On October 20, 2018, staff from Kigali Marriott Hotel will participate in the annual walk against breast cancer organized by BCIEA.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-27366 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/abakozi_ba_kigali_marriott_basobanuriwe_byinshi_kuri_kanseri_y_ibere_banafashwa_kwisuzumisha-0f810.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-27367 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/umuyobozi_w_umuryango_bciea_philippa_kibugu-decuir_n_umwe_mu_bakozi_ba_kigali_marriott_bafite_icyapa_kiriho_ubutumwa_busaba_abantu_kudaceceka_ahubwo_bakavuga_kuri_kanseri_y_ibere-a8081.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-27368 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/bose_bahavuye_intero_ari_ugukangurira_abandi_kwisuzumisha_hakiri_kare-510ba.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-27369 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/abakozi_ba_kigali_marriott_biyemeje_kudaceceka_bagakora_ubukangurambaga_kuri_kanseri_y_ibere-20f68.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-27370 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/abagabo_n_abasore_nabo_babwiwe_ko_bashobora_kurwara_kanseri_ifata_ibere-6176a.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-27372 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/6-1081-42297.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-27371 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/90-6-1fac9.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Thursday, the Kigali Marriott Hotel organized an event that introduced staff from its different departments to breast cancer awareness facilitated by Breast Cancer Initiative East Africa (BCIEA).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[75],"byline":[170],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-38340","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-homenews","byline-igihe"],"bylines":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"contributors":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"featured_image":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38340","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38340"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38340\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38340"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38340"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=38340"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=38340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
