This is a very positive sign for boosting public health in the United Arab Emirates: more and more hospitals across the country record a growing number of women opting for cancer examinations. These increases in preventive measures are being attributed to a progressive approach to a one-stop approach to early diagnosis and better managing various types of Cancer that affect women.

The trend is even more encouraging given the past difficulties in persuading women of the right age in the region to undergo regular cancer screenings. Lack of knowledge, cross-cultural differences, and fear of receiving a diagnosis have, over time, been highlighted as factors that have prevented people from being checked up regularly. Rather, current increased tendencies in the frequency of mammography imply the change in people’s attitude toward preventive measures and rising awareness of the population concerning the early stages of diseases.

Several healthcare workers blame this improvement on increased community awareness campaigns, greater accessibility to healthcare centers, and a change of attitude towards female health. Most hospitals and clinics have noted that their women’s health sections are experiencing a record-high turnout as women seek mammograms, Pap tests, and other cancer diagnostic procedures.

The director of oncology at one of the most popular hospitals in Dubai, Dr. Fatima Al Hashimi, said that she had noticed this trend, adding that the number of women who take charge of their health is increasing drastically. Cancer screenings are a vital tool in the fight against the disease, and a lot of these could actually be lifesavers if carried out early enough. This increase we attribute to the effectiveness of our awareness programs and a rising trend of health commitment among women in the UAE.

Screening for cancer has not been restricted to any age group, as statistics have demonstrated an uplift. Some of the latest surveys in hospitals show higher rates of participation across the age spectrum – from young people to the elderly. Such a mass-oriented involvement is laudable for healthcare givers in the sense that it suggests a population change in global health care seeking behavior.

A very important role in this regard has been played by the UAE government. The latest years marked a significant investment in further development of the advanced equipment for diagnostics and treatment of cancer. Also, for the purpose of national awareness and prevention campaigns have been launched across the country to increase awareness of cancer and encourage regular cheques.

Among such programs, the so-called “Pink Caravan” has been especially effective in increasing the awareness of breast cancer and offering free tests in all the regions of the country. The annual campaign has supplied a lot of work to eradicate barriers and encourage women to allow the improvement of their health.

This special increase in screening is expected to have vast effects. Cancer screening at an early stage will enhance successful handling of the disease, decrease mortality related to the disease and also may reduce the use of aggressive measures and economic cost in handling the disease. Health care professionals expect the increasing number of women to undergo the tests leading to better detection of early stages of the cancer which may dramatically change the picture of cancer diseases in the UAE.

However, there is still work to be done, several healthcare professionals stated: the increase in screenings is still a good step: Dr. Mariam Al Mulla, Ph.D. in Public Health, emphasised that “There is much more to be done to expand accessible screening programmes for all populations.” Alas, there are still populations whose awareness is still low, and the availability of screenings is still a problem. Our goal at [name of organization] is to make sure that all women who reside in the UAE have knowledge and access to well-being.

The demand for specialists in the field is growing steadily, and the healthcare sector is meeting the market’s needs by increasing its range of services and staff of specialists, as well as investing in the latest technologies used in screening. Hospitals are also increasing their opening hours and attending patients on the weekends because the number of women coming to the clinic for the examinations is increasing every day.

Such a trend is not only affecting individual health but also expecting to benefit society as a whole in various ways. In this way, the UAE is putting itself on the map to protect women’s health throughout the region by advocating for a culture of primary prevention. The domino effect that is expected to be observed from this change includes aspects such as increased productivity of the employees in the project and decreased health concerns, which are likely to cause costs that are far higher than the cost of implementing such a change in the future.

In light of the recent drive of the UAE to invest in the health sector as one of its chief focal areas of advancement , the increasing rate of cancer detection in women is a positive development. They depict how the campaigns in development of Public Health have been effective and show a population embracing efficient health policies.

Although there are obstacles to providing equal opportunities and populism for screenings and to continue this favourable shift, the present trend can easily build the future progress. When more women begin to manage their health through skilled checkups, the nation brings itself closer to the benchmark of delivering superior healthcare standards to citizen and residents of the UAE.
