As part of their ongoing effort to raise awareness about B.R.A. (Breast Reconstruction Awareness) Day, a worldwide health initiative, DHR Health is delighted to announce its Annual Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day Fashion Show and Gala. Every year, healthcare systems around the world come together to observe B.R.A. Day, which was established to highlight the various breast reconstruction options available to women who have bravely undergone breast cancer surgery.
