Aster Medical Centre will organise a free seminar on Cancer Detection with regards to the World Cancer Day. It will be held for pre-registered participants at Oryx Rotana Hotel today from 7pm to 9pm.
The two hour session will be headed by Gastroenterology doctor, Dr Mathew V Kurien who has over 15 years of professional experience and now heads the Gastroenterology division in the super specialty clinic of Aster. He is a member of Radiological Society of India and Indian Society of Gastroenterology.
Commenting on the initiative, Dr Sameer Moopan, CEO, DM Healthcare-Qatar, said: “We are pleased to hold a free seminar on cancer detection on World cancer Day. Cancer accounts for 10 per cent of all deaths in Qatar. But the good news is that 40 per cent of cancer is preventable if the risk factors that lead to cancers are tackled.” (Source: Supreme council of Health, National Health Strategy 2011- 2016)
