Doha: As part of its commitment to improving the population’s health in Qatar, Commercial Bank (CB), the leading digital bank in Qatar, conducted several awareness activities and workshops aiming to spread knowledge and awareness about breast cancer among employees and the Qatari community.
The “Fight Against Breast Cancer” campaign included various activities highlighting the importance of adopting a healthy lifestyle and methods of prevention and early detection of breast cancer.
Through the campaign, CB female employees had the opportunity to attend an informative “Breast Cancer Awareness Session” and enjoy exciting activities held in parallel. Specialists delivered the informative workshop in the Health Education Department at the Qatar Cancer Society.
In addition to the workshop, Commercial Bank hosted a specialised medical team from Naseem Medical Centre, who provided extensive information, answered all staff inquiries, and provided a medical check for CB female employees.
CB female employees also got the chance to meet with a breast cancer survivor, who shared her inspirational story of struggling with and overcoming the disease. Commercial Bank ensured that fun vibes were there with its exciting raising awa-reness activity, “Breast cancer wrestling trinket”. Also, gifts of symbolic key chains in the shape of boxing gloves and the pink ribbons were distributed to staff in the lobby of CB Plaza, where employees sparkled the event by wearing pink shirts as a sign of unity in the fight against breast cancer.
