Cocoona Centre for Aesthetic Transformation, which specializes in plastic, cosmetic, dental, orthopedic, weight loss, hair transplant, dermatology and dietary services, is offering free Breast Cancer and Skin Cancer screening during October, observed as the Breast Cancer month worldwide.

Dr Sanjay Parashar, Consultant Plastic Surgeon & Founder of Cocoona Centre, said: “The free Breast Cancer and Skin Cancer screening at Cocoona Centre is aimed at raising community awareness to combat breast and skin cancer and promote the concept of early detection and regular check-ups in the UAE. Our focus is always on improving patients’ lives and this free screening is a step in this direction.A simple five-minute cancer screening would certainly help to save more lives.”
For appointments, the number to call is 800362636 or email info@cocoona.ae.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women worldwide, accounting for 16 per cent of all cases, but the condition is treatable and curable if detected in its earliest stages, for which the five-year survival rate is about 98 per cent. Similarly, one in every three cancers diagnosed globally is skin cancer, Skin Cancer Foundation statistics show.
The free screening initiative comes close on the heels of Cocoona launching its revolutionary Patient Safety Assurance cover – the first-of-its-kind by any Aesthetic and Cosmetic Centre – for any post-operative complications of plastic surgery patients at its Al Wasl branch.
