Doha: As part of activities related to social responsibility, Wellcare Group has signed an agreement to support Qatar Cancer Society (QCS) activities.

Wellcare Group signed a partnership agreement with QCS aimed at cooperation in the field of cancer prevention and supporting QCS and its various activities and contributing to spreading awareness on behalf of QCS in Qatar.

Under the partnership agreement between Wellcare Group and QCS, there is an attempt to establish an effective partnership between the two sides and create long-term cooperation in the field of cancer awareness to the Qatari society through events organised by QCS. To disseminate the information in different languages in the community, QCS will educate wellcare pharmacists about cancer awareness and its prevention.

Wellcare pharmacies will facilitate a system in which customers can donate any amount from their change which will be reflected in their purchase invoice to help QCS raise awareness by organising several events about cancer and ways to prevent it by a healthy lifestyle and healthy food which will help raise awareness about the disease, which supports Qatar Vision 2030 in human development and increases public awareness.

Maryam Hamad Al Nuaimi, General Manager of Qatar Cancer Society said: “I would like to express my deep appreciation to Wellcare Group for their efforts in fighting cancer by supporting us and our activities. Statistics show that cancer incidence rates are on the rise both in Qatar and the Middle East, which shows the importance of launching awareness programmes on a large scale, focusing not only on treatment, but also on prevention through healthy lifestyles and exercise.” 

Asharaf K P, Managing Director of Wellcare Group, said: “We are delighted to support QCS initiatives aiming at raising awareness of cancer prevention through the several events that QCS will organise through the next year. We would like everyone to join in to support this very worthy cause for a fit and healthy society.”
