DOHA: As part of awareness campaigns organised by Ezdan Holding Group to its employees, the Group has recently hosted a lecture, in cooperation with Qatar Cancer Society, on cancer threats, means of prevention and the importance of early diagnosis, which contributes effectively to recuperation.
The lecture, delivered by Rahef Wasfi, a health educator at Qatar Cancer Society, focused on the information about cancer causes and means of prevention, as well as the methods of periodic cancer detection examination and their effectiveness in early diagnosis of cancer.
“Globally, cancer is one of the most serious diseases, so we are keen to launch regular awareness campaigns to fight the disease in Qatar, which address all community groups,” said the representative of Qatar Cancer Society, during the lecture delivered to the employees of Ezdan Holding Group and its subsidiaries.
Moreover, she pointed out that there are other risk factors for developing cancer, including tobacco smoking, the presence of family history with cancer, exposure to radiation, sunlight and obesity, and non-compliance with early cancer detection examination.
For his part, Aali Kassi, Public Relations and Communication Department Manager at Ezdan Holding Group, said, “The running of cancer awareness lecture, which was attended by a number of employees, stems from our deep belief in social responsibility and the Group’s role in creating a culture as well as practices that promote healthy life style.
“Also, it is quite important to increase health awareness and edify people about serious diseases that any human may suffer from in addition to the information about their symptoms at an early stage, which in turn will impact effectively in complete convalescence.”
Stemming from its belief in being an integral part of the Qatari society and all its segments, Ezdan Holding Group is striving hard to consolidate this concept through its engagement with all forms of support in community events and initiatives that may serve citizens and expatriates and contribute to the progress of Qatar.
