Thumbay Hospital,
Dubai will launch a Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign in association with
RTA’s Dubai Taxi Corporation (DTC), with a unique ‘Pink Ribbon
Formation’ by pink taxis of Dubai Taxi Corporation at 9.30am on Monday, 11thJan. 2016.
The campaign which
will be held at Thumbay Hospital, will feature 35 pink taxis, which will
form a giant ‘pink ribbon’, to spread awareness on breast cancer. The
campaign will be inaugurated jointly by dignitaries from Thumbay
Hospital and Dubai Taxi Corporation.
The Breast Cancer
Awareness campaign aims to focus special attention on this growing
disease among women. There are lots of young sufferers of breast cancer
due to unawareness of the importance of having regular breast cancer
screening, eliminating chances of its early detection. The result is
that many cases of breast cancer are presented to medical professionals
at a late or critical stage. The campaign aims to promote regular
screening for breast cancer, which makes it easier to detect and
prevent.
“The Breast Cancer
Awareness Campaign by Thumbay Hospital in association with the Dubai
Taxi Corporation is a unique initiative intended to create awareness
among the public and to stress the importance of taking steps towards
early detection of the disease,” said Mr. Akbar Moideen Thumbay, Vice
President of the Healthcare Division of Thumbay Group. “Considering the
fact that Thumbay Group’s hospitals and clinics are visited by patients
from more than 175 nationalities every day, we are committed to utilize
every chance we get to spread awareness on health issues,” he added.
“Dubai Taxi
Corporation is honoured to be a part of this breast cancer awareness
campaign, which will generate awareness about this important topic, and
contribute to the society’s well-being. Our pink taxis are one of the
best ways to take this message to the public,” said Dr. Yousif Al Ali,
CEO of RTA’s Dubai Taxi Corporation. “We have always believed that we
have a great social responsibility, and have acted accordingly by
supporting social and humanitarian initiatives,” he added.
Each Pink
Taxi Lady Driver, who participate as Pink Campaign Ambassadors will be
gifted Thumbay Hospital vouchers that entitles them to free benefits
such as gynecologist consultation, mammogram, blood sugar, blood
pressure and BMI checks and dental consultation, as well as discounts on
select dental treatments. They will also be given gift baskets.
