Etihad Museum and Dubai Healthcare Authority held Breast Cancer awareness event

Etihad Museum, an entity by Dubai Culture & Arts Authority (Dubai Culture), the Emirate’s dedicated entity for culture, arts, heritage, and literature, held activities in recognition of Breast Cancer Month.

The activities were part of an event held in collaboration with Dubai Healthcare Authority and included an education lecture on breast cancer awareness; medical testing stations where blood pressure, sugar levels, and cholesterol were measured; health consulting services offered by specialists; an awareness station dealing with mammogram testing; and nutrition consultation.

Khulood Al Nuaimi, Manager of Events Section at Etihad Museum, commented: “This event was organised to shed light on breast cancer and to educate visitors and participants about the disease so that they may best serve their community. We are grateful to our partners Dubai Healthcare Authority who helped us spread awareness to all members of the society, and we thank all those who participated with us for this enlightening event.” 

The event came as part of the museum’s ongoing educational and awareness programmes launched by Dubai Culture to enhance the museum’s position as a key educational and knowledge sharing centre for visitors, students, and future generations.
