As part of prostrate cancer campaign, Careem will give patients a Dh40 discount on their ride service once they book an appointment with Prime Hospital to avail of free consultation with a urologist specialist for prostate cancer detection.
Prime Hospital has partnered with Careem in line with its prostate cancer awareness campaign this month. In addition, Prime Hospital is also offering a 50 per cent discount on Urinalysis - urine test, Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) check for prostate cancer, and ultrasound scan.
The offer aims to promote awareness on the importance of early detection among men and encourage them to get themselves checked as it is crucial for treating possible cases effectively. The offers will be valid until November 30.
Dr Jamil Ahmed, Managing Director, Prime Hospital said, "We have launched this campaign to help raise public awareness on prostate cancer which remains largely undiagnosed among men."
Prostate cancer is now considered the most common form of cancer afflicting men, and as such, the necessary tests are strongly recommended for men over the age of 40. As men grow older, their prostate becomes larger. Cancer can form if the cells in the prostate gland form tumors. A tumor in the prostate interferes with proper control of the bladder and normal sexual functioning.
"In the UAE, 20 per cent of all cancer cases that have been reported involve the prostate. Many remain undiagnosed because the public remains largely unaware of the issue. However, early detection can mean the difference between life and death, and we have had many cases where a patient has been successfully treated following immediate medical action," added Dr Jamil.
