This initiative is considered a contribution from Lulu hypermarket in achieving QCS’ vision to be the community partnership platform to make Qatar a leader in cancer prevention and its burden control and mission.
“We seek to prevent cancer and control its burden in Qatar by working with our partners to educate the community and support, empower, and advocate for individuals living with cancer. We want to engage in professional development and scientific research combating cancer,” said Zakariya Karazoun .
He thanked the management and staff of Lulu Hypermarket for their continued support of the QCS in its cancer awareness initiatives and for addressing the needs of cancer patients who cannot afford treatment.
