“Such seminars are informative and educational, and will help people to watch out for developing symptoms and learn how to treat these diseases, and perhaps to take care of their bodies and lifestyles better.
“The Breast Cancer Awareness session, demonstrates the bank’s support to the campaign to create awareness in general public and reach out to the youth of Qatar. In tackling cancer, it is often crucial to respond powerfully and swiftly through a grassroots campaign. I am confident that through events like these we are not only spreading awareness but also sending out a strong message of hope.”
