Screen For Life, Qatar’s National Breast and Bowel Cancer Screening programme recently partnered with major shopping malls to host an in-mall activation programme in support of its month-long October Means Breast Cancer Screening campaign to mark the Breast Cancer Awareness Month and encourage as many women as possible to undergo a complimentary breast cancer screening.

Doha Festival City, Villagio Mall and Landmark Mall, showed tremendous support for the Screen for Life campaign, recognising the programme as a national cause and allocating space within their premises for awareness booths and dedicated mobile screening unit. Doha Festival City has its own on-site screenings for eligible visitors.

The booths enabled the Screen For Life team members to engage with shoppers and provide them with an in-depth insight into the goals of the programme and the processes involved in order to drive home the message of how screening plays a crucial role in the early detection of cancer. The team distributed educational materials and encouraged shoppers to book a free screening at one of the Screen For Life facilities in Al Wakra, Leabaib and Rawdat Al Khail Health Centres.

The month-long breast cancer awareness campaign is a key addition to the Screen For Life efforts to drive cancer awareness among Qatari citizens and residents. Led by the Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC), the interactive in-mall activation plays a crucial role in the success of the programme across the state.
