Support Group, Events and Activities
Brest Friends was established in 2005 by Dr Houriya Kazim, the UAE’s first female surgeon, with the mission to save lives by increasing awareness of breast cancer in the UAE. For the past 14 years, Brest Friends has run the only breast cancer support group in Dubai where patients and survivors meet once a month to learn, socialize and support each other. Brest Friends offers support to breast cancer patients by removing barriers such as limited or no health insurance, lack of transportation and childcare, or language and cultural differences.
