The Pink Caravan initiative by Friends of Cancer Patients (FOCP) in the UAE is gearing up to host a series of activations to raise awareness for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.
Breast cancer was the most common type of cancer globally in 2021 and according to World Health Organisation (WHO), accounts for 12% of new cancer cases.
Over the past ten years, the initiative has aimed to increase awareness, and last year alone 2,197 clinical breast examinations, 1,019 mammograms and 208 ultrasound tests were carried. Multiple initiatives will continue to be held this year including free early detection screenings and check-ups.
