Free Breast Cancer  screenings offered in Dubai

Women are being given the chance to get checked out for breast cancer free of charge in Dubai this month.

Free screenings at four clinics have been organised as part of breast cancer awareness month to encourage early detection among women in the UAE.

Sonograms, consultations and advice are being given by appointment

at Welcare Ambulatory Care Centre in Knowledge Village on Friday, at Welcare Clinic in Mirdif on October 23

and at Welcare Clinic in Qusais and at the Emirates Diagn-ostic Clinic in Satwa on October 30.

Group clinic manager Dr Lisa Pinto said: “The truth about breast cancer is that early detection is the best defense against the disease, and screening therefore can help save thousands of lives.

“Just by taking half an hour out of their weekend to visit one of our centres - or even their own doctor - the UAE’s women can get hold of the information they need about the disease and learn the simple techniques for self-checks, which could save lives.”

Breast cancer month - Get involved
Click your support
Now in its 13th year, Burjuman’s Safe and Sound campaign is using the power of the internet to help spread awareness of breast cancer and the importance of early diagnosis, detection and treatment. The mall has launched an online pink ribbon campaign, where internet users are invited to visit www.safeandsound.ae to do their bit for the cause by adding some colour pink to an online ribbon.

It’s free and just takes a few clicks, but is an important step in the show of support for the disease. The campaign aims to attract a minimum of 250,000 people in the month of October.

The Pink Walkathon
On Friday, October 30, Burjuman will host the 6th annual Pink Walkathon, a 3.6km charity walk. Now’s your chance to help support this very worthy cause and raise funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer. For information on how to register visit the Safe and Sound web site or call 04 352 0222.
It’s dhs50 for adults and dhs30 for children aged eight to 12. All proceeds from the Pink Walkathon will be collected by Red Crescent and used to generate awareness and education within the community, and support patient care.

Survivors Fashion Show
Don’t miss the Breast Cancer Survivors Fashion Show on October 23, at Burjuman, where breast cancer survivors will take to the ramp and celebrate their triumph over the disease. Visit the Safe and Sound web site for more information.
