A strong advocate for breast cancer awareness, Mr Ziad El Hawi, Cluster General Manager for Millennium Al Barsha, Millennium Atria Business Bay, and Millennium Monte Rose Executive Apartments encourages female staff to go for routine checkups as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  He shares this below.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is held every year in October to promote awareness of the disease, screening and its prevention.

In Millennium Al Barsha, we had the pleasure to host Emirates Hospitals Group Dr Basema Jaber, consultant for Obstetrics & Genecology and member of the Jordanian board in Obstetrics and Genecology, to present and educate staff and guests techniques for detecting and preventing breast cancer.

As men, we are surrounded by our beloved ones such as moms, daughters, sisters, aunts, and our dear female colleagues. We should do our part to encourage them to do routine check-ups for their safety. But by doing so, we are also doing it for our own stability because behind every successful man is a strong woman. Without her, even hero is zero.

Thanks to Emirates Hospitals group for providing us with vouchers worth AED 300 as incentive to get our ladies to do a checkup. Also thanks to Shilpasri Karanam Cluster Hygiene Manager and Mohamed Khairy, MBA, MCMI, Head of Marketing Strategy and Jennifer Alexander J. our Cluster HR Specialist for organizing such great event.

A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform.
