We must face the fact instead of hiding it :Dr Shazia Qureshi

Lahore: Punjab University Law College Principal Dr Shazia Qureshi has said that there is need to break social taboos to fight diseases like breast cancer.

She was addressing an awareness seminar on breast cancer organized by PU College of Earth and Environmental Sciences (CEES) here on Tuesday.
