Doha, Qatar: McDonald’s Qatar has organised a Breast Cancer Awareness Workshop in collaboration with Al Aziziya Medical Centre, bringing employees together to learn, connect, and support one another in recognition of Pink Month.
The initiative reflected the brand’s unwavering commitment to employee wellbeing, inclusion, and its purpose-driven culture under the Rahlatuna “Our Journey”, Corporate Social Responsibility platform and Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion values.
The workshop gathered more than 100 McDonald’s Qatar employees for expert-led presentations by an Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialist from Al Aziziya Medical Centre. The sessions highlighted early detection, national screening programs, prevention strategies, and balanced lifestyle habits, followed by a Q&A that encouraged employees to address personal health questions directly with the experts.
The session concluded with closing reflections, highlighting the value of education, access to healthcare, and McDonald’s Qatar’s ongoing commitment to employee wellbeing and empowerment.
