The event, themed Together on the Journey of Hope, gathered women from the Qatari community, as well as local media representatives and social media influencers, to raise awareness about breast cancer prevention and the importance of early screening.

A Platform for Purposeful Engagement
At the heart of this initiative was a desire to deepen connections between healthcare professionals and community members. By creating a welcoming space for open dialogue, Marble Medical Center empowered participants to gain critical knowledge and ask questions about breast cancer. The event underscored the importance of routine mammograms and self-examinations, with healthcare experts sharing essential information on breast cancer’s symptoms, stages, and the practical steps women can take for early detection and prevention.
Dr. Dima Shihadeh, General Manager of Marble Medical Center, emphasized the event’s community-focused mission, stating, “Our goal in organizing Together on the Journey of Hope was to bridge the gap between medical professionals and the Qatari community, making health information more accessible and promoting a proactive approach to breast health. We believe that awareness events like this can help instill a culture of early screening and preventive care among women in Qatar. The success of this event is a reflection of our shared commitment with the community to prioritize health.”

The event featured expert-led sessions by Dr. Maram Karkar and Dr. Joud Shabarq, both renowned specialists in obstetrics and gynecology, who shared insights into breast cancer treatment options, including both medical and surgical approaches. Additionally, Dr. Kais Othman, a consultant in psychiatry, highlighted the significance of psychological and social support in enhancing patients’ emotional resilience and mental well-being, which can be crucial for those undergoing cancer treatment. These specialists provided valuable guidance on the entire journey from diagnosis to recovery, equipping attendees with knowledge and reassurance.

Community Leaders Share Inspiring Support Strategies
Beyond medical insights, the event also featured contributions from community figures known for their impact on mental health, wellness, and social support. Media personality Zahida Al Hammadi, educational trainer Touba Karam, wellness expert Dr. Mary Abu Rashid, and Alya Al-Masoudi, founder of ‘Family Bond,’ offered motivational discussions on the importance of family and social networks for those facing breast cancer. They shared strategies for families and friends to offer meaningful support to loved ones, fostering a sense of connection that can make a profound difference during challenging times.
Dr. Dima added, “At Marble Medical Center, we are passionate about our role in the community, and our health initiatives are designed to provide meaningful service beyond our core medical offerings. Breast cancer awareness is an ongoing commitment, and we aim to empower individuals to take charge of their health through regular screenings and self-checks.”
