Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the world and a leading cause of cancer deaths in the UAE. Regular testing and early detection as well as strong support from family, friends and the community are essential.

Hepatitis Detection and Awareness
Watania is proud to be associate with Dubai Health Authority in support of its Hepatitis Awareness Campaign. This campaign is aimed at stopping hepatitis in its strides through early detection all across UAE. The spreading of this important information to all our customers and associates is a duty that we do with honour, in service of nation and humanity at large.
The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) announced the launch of a three-year Hepatitis C awareness campaign to raise awareness of the importance of early detection and prevention of Hepatitis C.
This campaign is part of the “EKSHEF” screening initiative for early detection of certain communicable and non-communicable diseases.
The “Early Detection of Hepatitis C” campaign is a major drive to help achieve the strategic goal of the Emirate of Dubai and the United Arab Emirates to eliminate Hepatitis C by 2030.
Awareness, free checkups
It includes a range of awareness campaigns and free check-ups for individuals aged 18 years and over. Awareness and screening campaigns will take place across malls, workers’ accommodation sites, government organisations and public spaces.
Dubai Health Authority has organised this three-year campaign in partnership with AbbVie Biopharmaceuticals and Axios Home Care Services, with the aim of raising awareness about early detection and early diagnosis.
Hepatitis C is an inflammation of the liver caused by the hepatitis C virus.
The virus can cause acute and chronic hepatitis, ranging in severity from mild illness to serious, lifelong illness including cirrhosis and cancer.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has estimated that in 2019, approximately 290,000 people died from hepatitis C disease, mostly from cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (primary liver cancer).
Dr. Ramadan Ibrahim AlBlooshi, Acting Director of the Public Health and Protection Department at the Dubai Health Authority, confirmed that the launch of the campaign is in line with the goal of the United Arab Emirates and the World Health Organization to eliminate hepatitis C disease by 2030 and is also in line with UAE’s sustainable development goals.
Symptoms
He highlighted that although the prevalence of the disease is low in the country, it is important to raise community awareness especially because the disease can go undetected.
He said that nearly 80 per cent of people infected with hepatitis C will not develop symptoms.
Dr AlBlooshi added that the latest antiviral drugs and treatments lead to a cure for nearly 95 percent of people suffering from this disease.
Dr. Hend Al Awadhi, Head of Health Promotion at Education at DHA’s Public Health & Protection Department added that the aim of the campaign is to raise awareness among all Dubai residents aged 18 years and over to reduce transmission, treat individuals, stop disease progression, reduce mortality and ultimately eliminate the disease in Dubai altogether.
“Our primary focus at the Public Health Protection Department in this campaign is to raise awareness of the disease. We plan to raise the level of health awareness for individuals through field visits across government entities, malls and workers’ accommodations in Dubai”
During the launch of the campaign, Dr. Hassan Sabah Gulf & Levant General Manager at AbbVie, emphasised the importance of screening and early detection of the hepatitis C virus, noting that the campaign support program directs patients to obtain and adhere to treatment, and provides moral support which patients often lack in the stages of treatment.
Breast Cancer Awareness
This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Watania Takaful is joining hands with its partners and members to empower all women with the necessary knowledge to look after their health, be resilient and have hope for a healthy and cancer-free future. Early detection is essential, and so are getting screened regularly and making the right, healthy decisions, every day. We truly believe that ‘No one should face breast cancer alone.’ Together, we are raising awareness and paving the way to a healthier future for all.
Basmah Breast Cancer Awareness
Watania is proud to be associate with Dubai Health Authority in support of its Breast Awareness Campaign. This campaign is aimed at eradicating cancer through early detection all across UAE. The spreading of this important information to all our customers and associates is a duty that we do with honour, in service of nation and humanity at large.
The initiative makes Dubai authorities the first government entity in the world to provide a complete spectrum of care from screening to treatment for the three types of cancer (breast, colorectal and cervical cancer) under the essential benefit plan. Prior to the scheme, cancer coverage was limited to AED150,000. Now there are no sub-limits and coverage is unlimited. Under the initiative eligible patients are enrolled at Dubai Hospital and they receive treatment at the hospital.
In order to make the initiative work, all approved health insurance providers in Dubai asked policyholders to pay an additional amount of Dh 19 and Dh 18 for Cancer and Hepatitis C (HCV) treatment respectively. This sum for cancer is pooled into DHA’s trust account and helps cover the additional cost of these three types of cancer treatment when it crosses the Sum Insured of Dh 150,000 minimum, for Low Salary Band (LSB) workers.
If any LCB worker who has an EBP (essential benefit policy) is diagnosed with any of the three types of cancer under the BASMAH programme, the patient is referred to the Cancer Centre of Excellence in Dubai Hospital and is enrolled in the Cancer Patient support programme (Cancer PSP) if they meet the eligibility criteria.
Dr Moaza Al Bedwawi, General Surgeon at Dubai Hospital and Founder of Pink Ride Hope says, “This initiative is a blessing for patients and also for healthcare workers as we feel truly grateful to see patients with financial difficulties get complete treatment so that they can be cured and lead a healthy and happy life. However, the one message I strongly advocate, is to educate all community members about the importance of timely diagnosis. Despite all the awareness and initiatives such as the wonderful Basmah programme, we still find that women do not come forward in time. Even when they see symptoms, they often try to ignore it.
“With early diagnosis the chances of survival and minimum intervention greatly increase; we do not have to adopt aggressive therapies straight away. Even in case of surgery, early detection helps us plan the breast reconstruction and nipple preservation procedure in a much better manner.”
She said the Basmah initiative, patients have a tracking and follow-up system to ensure the whole treatment is smooth and streamlined.
In addition to the Basmah initiative, the Authority also has a Health Fund Department that coordinates with various charities and patients to help patients with financial difficulties get the treatment in time.
