Abu Dhabi, July 18 (IANS/WAM) A leading UAE-based cancer organisation is conducting workshops for men and women during the holy month of Ramadan to raise breast cancer awareness.

The Friends of Cancer Patients (FOCP) offers evidence-based and current information that provides the community with a sound understanding on all available information relating to cancer.

FOCP's workshops also aim to disseminate information about cancer, its risk factors, and the important role of self examination and early diagnosis.

The workshops are being conducted at the Al Multaqa Ramadan Forum titled "Breeze of Mercy"' at the Zabeel Hall, Dubai World Trade Centre, between July 12 and 23.

It is the cancer society's second consecutive year of participation at the huge Ramadan event which is organised annually by the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing.
