Breast cancer remains the most diagnosed cancer worldwide, affecting millions of lives annually. Fortunately, early detection saves lives, and Pink Caravan is making that critical step easier than ever. This October, in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Yas Bay Waterfront and Yas Marina are partnering with Pink Caravan and Friends of Cancer Patients to offer residents and visitors free, private clinical screenings and mammograms. This powerful initiative is a vital reminder to prioritize your health.
This is the second consecutive year that these iconic Abu Dhabi destinations are hosting the mobile clinic, showing a strong community commitment. The goal is simple: remove the barriers to getting checked. Instead of navigating a hospital appointment, you can access these essential services at two convenient, beautiful locations.
The Pink Caravan mobile clinic schedule is:
- Sunday, 05 October (10 AM to 4 PM): Yas Bay Waterfront, Outdoor Pier Parking.
- Monday, 06 October (10 AM to 4 PM): Yas Marina, Building 1 entrance.
Adults of all genders aged 20 and above are welcome for the free clinical breast screenings. For those aged 40 and above, a free mammogram is also available. While slots are limited, arriving early ensures you secure your opportunity for this crucial health check.
While women account for the majority of diagnoses, recent research reminds us that men are not exempt, representing a small but significant percentage of annual new cases globally. Because symptoms can present later in men, early detection through screening is particularly important. This inclusive approach to health and prevention underscores the campaign’s true value: ensuring everyone has access to the information and checks they need.
The idea of a health checkup can feel daunting, but the organizers have taken steps to ensure a comforting, informative experience. A dedicated team of medical experts from Friends of Cancer Patients will be on site. They won’t just conduct the screenings; they will provide sensitive guidance through the process, answer questions, and offer advice on wellbeing. Each participant will even receive a small memento, serving as a daily physical cue to keep their health at the forefront. This event is a reflection of the powerful, collective effort to spread awareness and support the local community’s health.
Don’t let two important days pass by without putting your health first. The free screenings are a vital, accessible resource brought directly to you by Yas Marina, Yas Bay Waterfront, and Pink Caravan.
