Qatar Cancer Society (QCS) has launched the Blossom Campaign as part of the month-long breast cancer awareness campaign during October.
The national campaign targets all categories of Qatari society throughout the month, and aims to emphasise the importance of periodic examination for the early detection, promoting a healthy lifestyle as well as to highlight the health services available in the country.
Dr Hadi Mohamed Abu Rasheed, from the Professional Development and Scientific Research Department at QCS said that according to the latest Qatar National Cancer Registry (QNCR) at the Ministry of Public Health in 2016 there were 266 newly diagnosed breast cancer cases in Qatar.
