Al Hamra partners with Pink Caravan to host breast cancer awareness event

Al Hamra has shown its support for breast cancer awareness month by hosting a community awareness event in partnership with the Pink Caravan initiative at Al Hamra Marina & Yacht Club, as part of the company’s ongoing CSR initiatives, on Monday October 29, 2018.

The event, which was open to all Al Hamra Village residents, began with a morning of insightful cancer awareness lectures and Q&A sessions followed by free examinations by the Pink Caravan team and free mammogram vouchers.

Benoy Kurien, CEO of Al Hamra, said: “One in every eight women in the world will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, however with early detection through regular self-examination and regular check-ups breast cancer survival rates become much higher.

“We have a commitment to the communities in which we operate, not just through our real estate, hospitality or leisure offering but also by ensuring our residents are health-focused and have the necessary knowledge and understanding at their disposal.”
