Bill 118 HRES 746, also known as the "National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month" bill, aims to designate September 2023 as a month dedicated to raising awareness about ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is a serious and often deadly disease that affects thousands of women each year. By designating September as National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, the bill seeks to educate the public about the risks and symptoms of ovarian cancer, as well as the importance of early detection and treatment.
The bill highlights the need for increased funding for research into ovarian cancer, as well as support for those currently battling the disease. It also emphasizes the importance of promoting awareness and education about ovarian cancer in order to improve outcomes for patients.
If passed, this bill would encourage individuals, organizations, and communities to participate in activities and events aimed at raising awareness about ovarian cancer during the month of September. By shining a spotlight on this important issue, the bill aims to reduce the stigma surrounding ovarian cancer and ultimately improve outcomes for those affected by the disease.
