Doha: talabat, the region’s leading food and grocery delivery app, has announced that in aid of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it has partnered with Qatar Cancer Society, pledging to donate QR1 from every grocery purchase made through the talabat app this month. The organisation also partnered with the Qatar Cancer Society (QCS) to set up a virtual page for customers to donate through as well.

Breast cancer is the most common form of the disease - and while common public sentiment is that it affects only women, it actually affects men as well. As a consistent supporter of Pink October, every year talabat has been at the forefront of raising funds, awareness, and helping to educate on how to prevent breast cancer. 

Managing Director of talabat Qatar, Francisco De Sousa, said, “We are delighted to collaborate with Qatar Cancer Society for such an important cause. We encourage everyone to think pink throughout October to honour Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 

"We have been fighting a pandemic majority of the year, but at the same time cannot forget other pressing health concerns and issues.”
