Qatar Cancer Society (QCS) hosted ‘Hope Iftar’ at Sheraton Doha as part of the psychosocial and social support programme for people living with cancer. It was attended by more than 300 patients, survivors and their families, and many public figures and included the distribution of gifts to children provided by Kiddy Zone and flowers distributed by Floward.
Mona Ashkanani, director general, QCS, welcomed the attendees pointing out that the annual event is happening in conjunction with QCS' mission to prevent cancer and control its burden in Qatar by working with its partners to educate the community and to support, empower and advocate individuals living with cancer.
QCS is keen to provide all means of support for people living with cancer, whether material, psychological, social, or educational. In this regard, it has launched many programmes to shed light on models that have been able to conquer the disease and overcome it.
