In Doha, stakeholders united to launch "Beyond the Ribbon: Awareness, Stories & Wellness," a community-centered event aimed at raising breast cancer awareness. Hosted by the Qatar Cancer Society, Doha Women Forum, Golden CMC Events & Management, and Grand Hyatt Doha, the gathering was held at the Majlis at Grand Hyatt Doha Hotel & Villas.
The program featured healthcare professionals, breast cancer survivors, a male breast cancer patient, wellness advocates, and community members to discuss awareness, early detection, personal stories, and emotional well-being. A male breast cancer patient shared his personal experience, helping to challenge the notion that breast cancer is a solely women's issue and emphasizing the importance of seeking medical advice regardless of gender.
Throughout the event, the importance of regular health check-ups, accessible healthcare, and supportive communities was emphasized. The event organizer, Marivie Alabanza, hoped the conversation would continue beyond October, to see the people, hear the stories, honor the courage, and hold on to hope.
