In honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Dubai Parks™ and Resorts, in collaboration with Global Village, have joined forces with the Pink Caravan, a leading breast cancer awareness initiative, to provide direct, accessible support and raise awareness among guests and the broader community through this partnership, this October.
The mobile clinic will extend a range of complimentary services designed to prioritise women’s well-being, including 20 mammogram screenings for women aged 40 and above. Furthermore, the clinic will conduct 80 clinical breast examinations for women aged 20 to 39. Complementing these services are one-on-one health sessions, enabling women to learn about the importance of self-breast examinations, early detection and preventive measures.
On 20 October 2023, the Pink Caravan’s mobile clinic will be stationed at RIVERLAND™ Dubai from 10am to 4pm. Additionally, on 27 and 28 October, it will be available at Global Village from 5pm to 10pm.
