Sharjah — In the presence of Shaikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Culture, Youth and Community Development, a new project has been launched by the Pink Caravan and Sharjah Media Corporation called CareVan, the first state-of-the-art mobile mammography unit in the UAE. At a cost of Dh15 million, the aim is to provide free breast cancer early detection screenings throughout the year.
The announcement was made during the closing ceremony of the Pink Caravan Ride at Rosewood Hotel in Abu Dhabi. Pink Caravan is a pan-UAE breast cancer awareness initiative by the Friends of Cancer Patients charity (FoCP).
Dr Khalid Omar Al Midfa, director-general of Sharjah Media Corporation, announced a donation of Dh13 million to sponsor Pink Caravan’s project in a show of support for their work and achievements.
Ameera BinKaram, President of the Board of Trustees and Founding Member of FoCP and Chairperson of the Higher Organising Committee of the Pink Caravan Ride said: “We are extremely proud to announce the launch of the CareVan mobile clinic, the first of its kind in the region, furnished with the latest equipment and devices necessary for the early detection of breast cancer and other related tests, which will enable us to provide free screenings throughout the year in various parts of the UAE, instead of limiting them to 10 days as has been the case in the past.”
During the 10-day ride, 30 mobile clinics were set up across the country.
