Sharjah 24: During Pink October, the Pink Caravan of the Friends of Cancer Patients (FOCP) is operating eight fixed clinics across the UAE—seven for women and one for men—to raise awareness about breast cancer, which affects 10% of women annually.
The initiative offers clinical and radiological exams, including mammograms and ultrasounds, at various locations, including Al Majaz Waterfront in Sharjah, Mushrif Mall in Abu Dhabi, and City Walk in Dubai. Additionally, there are two clinics at China Mall in Ajman (one for women and one for men), as well as sites in Manar Mall in Ras Al Khaimah, Lulu Mall in Fujairah, and Mall of Umm Al Quwain.

While breast cancer predominantly affects women, a small percentage of cases occur in men, prompting the Pink Caravan to include a dedicated clinic for men in Ajman. The campaign also features over 100 mobile clinics throughout October to further promote awareness and early detection.
