Though the UAE has come a long way in raising awareness about cervical cancer among women, a report released in February has said that 1.82 million females are at the risk of the disease in the country.
Dr Layla Al Marzouqi, Director of Dubai Health Authority (DHA) Health Regulation and Dubai Medical Tourism Project, who attended the Zulekha Hospital's third edition of its campaign against the disease, said: "People don't really think about it much, because there is a cultural sensitivity when talking about cervical cancer.
"We had the same issue when we first started talking about breast cancer in the UAE. People were reluctant to talk about breast cancer in the media and in public, or tell their father or brothers about a breast cancer campaign."
Zulekha Hospital launched its drive, Smear Don't Fear, at an event in Jumeirah Emirates Tower on Monday.
Free screening As part of the new campaign, women in the UAE can have free specialist consultations and Pap tests at Zulekha Hospitals in Dubai and Sharjah until August 31. |
