Wow!
In honor of International Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is recognized each October, the 06 Mall in Sharjah organized an initiative for the early detection of breast cancer for mall employees and visitors on Thursday, October 21st, in collaboration with the Pink Caravan. The initiative’s goal is to encourage the public to conduct self-examinations on a regular basis in order to detect the disease!
The event drew a large number of female attendees of all ages. In addition to examinations, the initiative educated visitors on the dangers of breast cancer and the best ways to protect against it by ensuring early and regular examination, which plays a vital role in the detection and recovery, in order to achieve the goals of Pink October in spreading health awareness of the risks of cancer.
Issa Ataya, CEO of Alef Group, said: “International Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an opportunity to continue to educate the public about this disease, which threatens the health of not only women but men as well, although the incidence of it is somewhat higher for women.
“The importance of such efforts is also to reduce the chances of contracting the disease and encouraging members of society to conduct periodic examinations to preserve the health and safety of all our citizens and residents in the United Arab Emirates.”
