Sharjah: Friends of Cancer Patients (FOCP), a UAE-based civil society organisation, has organised a series of activities to promote public awareness on cancer and the importance of early detection. The drive is in line with the sixth edition of GCC Cancer Awareness Campaign.
Two virtual workshops were conducted recently, in collaboration with University of Sharjah. The first session focused on educating the participants about colon cancer, while the second workshop discussed gallbladder and bile duct cancer.
Amel Al Maazmi, the FOCP director of Corporate Excellence, said: “Our participation in the sixth edition of GCC Cancer Awareness Campaign stems from our belief in the need to formulate and implement a common regional vision for combatting cancer. We participate in local, regional and international programmes and activities to raise awareness on cancer, which are in line with the directives of Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, Wife of His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan bin M
