AstraZeneca Provides Breast Cancer Education

get_the_facts.jpg

AstraZeneca recently launched a Disease Awareness program aimed at enhancing awareness of the risk of breast cancer recurrence and how to reduce that risk among survivors. The program consists of a television commercial called "If You Were My Sister," an interactive Web site called , and an educational information kit, all featuring real women who are breast cancer survivors. The campaign encourages the public to learn and share critical information about the risk of breast cancer recurrence.

The site, developed by MBC, allows women to read general information or answer several questions about their individual situation and then read information specific to their situation. Lest we forget this is marketing, an email address is, optionally, requested at the end of the questions. We're sure AstraZeneca's drugs are promoted here somewhere but, aside from the separate corporate site, we couldn't find it which, of course, is refreshing.

If they were truly only interested in saving lives they should sponsor Pink Ribbon.

I think the problem is that very much money is spent on various campaigns, while many people just can't afford therapy. For many it's business which I consider terrible and absolutely anti-human.

It's been on tv for over a year now, and it's still the most offensive commercial I've ever seen. When will they ever stop it?
