Pink Caravan announces free breast cancer screenings on Jan 30

Sharjah (WAM) - As a confidence-building measure to ensure large numbers of women and men undergo preventive mammography screenings during the upcoming Pink Caravan Ride, the organisation will station a mobile mammography unit at Sharjah Federal Court of First Instance for one day to provide free screenings for all. The fully-operational mobile mammography unit will be stationed at the premises on January 30th with a doctor for checkups and further referrals. The Pink Caravan awareness initiative by the Friends of Cancer Patients (FoCP) Society has already announced that "Dispelling myths" would once again be the overriding theme driving its 2014 pan-UAE horse ride. This year's Pink Caravan Ride will start from Sharjah on February 15th, journeying through the Northern Emirates, passing through Dubai, Al Ain and concluding in the capital, Abu Dhabi, on February 25th. - Emirates News Agency, WAM
