Islamabad
\nPakistan\u2019s leading digital microfinance Bank, Mobilink Bank, has launched the \u201cBibi App,\u201d a breast cancer awareness mobile application designed to support Pakistani women through accessible and localized health information.
\nThe application has been developed by Aangan, a startup focused on women\u2019s reproductive health and an incubatee of Mobilink Bank\u2019s Women Inspirational Network (WIN) Incubator, the Bank\u2019s industry-first incubation program for women-led startups.
\nThe launch event in Islamabad brought together foreign diplomats, policymakers, healthcare experts, development stakeholders, and industry leaders in support of greater awareness around women\u2019s health and early breast cancer detection. The collaboration marks the bank\u2019s first dedicated health-tech initiative focused on breast cancer awareness and women\u2019s health education.
\nAccording to health experts, 1 in 9 women in Pakistan is at risk of breast cancer. This remains the most common cancer among women in Pakistan, propelled by social stigma, limited awareness, and delayed diagnosis.
\nThe Bibi App seeks to improve access to reliable and culturally relevant information, and is designed for women aged 18-55 in urban, peri-urban, and semi-rural communities with limited access to awareness resources. The information within the app has been vetted by Shifa International Hospital.
\nThe initiative reflects Mobilink Bank\u2019s continued commitment to advancing women\u2019s empowerment through inclusive and impact-driven digital innovation beyond traditional financial services.
\nThe application provides easy-to-understand information on early detection, prevention, and health awareness in both Urdu and English. By leveraging technology to improve health literacy, Mobilink Bank aims to contribute toward more inclusive support systems for women across Pakistan.
\nThe BiBi App marks another step in Mobilink Bank\u2019s growing push to support women-led innovation in Pakistan. Through its WIN Incubator, the Bank has already graduated 31 women-led startups, while the recently awarded National Incubation Centre in Sialkot is set to further strengthen its footprint in the country\u2019s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
\nSpeaking on the occasion, Haaris Mahmood Chaudhary, President and CEO of Mobilink Bank, said: \u201cTrue empowerment begins with access, not just to finance, but to knowledge, care, and the enablement to make informed decisions. Through the Bibi App, we are using the power of digital innovation to break barriers around women\u2019s health, drive greater awareness around early detection, and ensure that critical health information reaches women in a simple, accessible, and meaningful way.\u201d
\nThrough its WIN program, Mobilink Bank continues to support women-led innovation and scalable solutions addressing key social and economic challenges faced by women in Pakistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
