Complimentary Breast Exams offered throughout the month of October

Abu Dhabi, UAE HealthPlus Women’s Health Center, the recently JCI accredited leading healthcare facility, conducted yesterday a Breast Cancer Awareness Open Day for the 2nd consecutive year. The initiative came in line with the month of October International Breast Cancer Awareness campaign.

“It is estimated that one in eight women either has or will develop breast cancer in her lifetime, which is a hugely significant number. Early detection of breast cancer is vital to avoid potentially fatal prognoses.” said Mr. Majd Abu Zant, Chief Executive Officer of HealthPlus.

HealthPlus Women’s Health Center partnered with Tawam Hospital in affiliation with Johns Hopkins Medicine and their Mobile Mammogram unit offering free mammograms. Family Development Foundation distributed self examination kits encouraging early screening and Estée Lauder Companies Inc, whose increasing awareness of breast cancer is one of its most prominent global campaigns, was also on-board.

The open day event was enthusiastically attended by large numbers of guests who enjoyed the interactive workshops led by Dr. Afaf El Ghanimi, HealthPlus Women’s Health Center Consultant in Obstetrics & Gynecology assisted by the Tawam Hospital educators.
