The event, held at NBP Sports Complex, brought together employees from across departments to play not just for sport, but for a cause that touches millions, the fight against breast cancer. The match served as a public gesture of solidarity with the women affected by the disease and as a call for timely awareness, early detection, and education.

At NBP, we believe awareness begins with empathy and action, and each of us, regardless of gender, can contribute to creating a culture that values health, support and early detection” said President NBP, Mr. Rehmat Ali Hasnie.
Pakistan faces the highest incidence of breast cancer in Asia, with 1 in 9 women at risk and over 40,000 deaths annually due to late detection. Recognizing the need for early education and proactive health engagement, NBP’s Pinktober initiative is designed to encourage conversation, screening, and compassion both within the workplace and in communities at large.
