During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, students from the College of Medicine at Dubai Medical University (DMU) took part in a community health initiative in collaboration with the Pakistan Association Dubai (PAD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collaboration was led by Aena Khan, Student Council\u2019s Volunteer Initiatives Coordinator, who worked with PAD to create a medical volunteering opportunity for DMU students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, 24 October 2026, DMU medical student volunteers joined doctors, nurses and healthcare staff from PAD at Emrill Village Ladies Accommodation in Al Quoz. They supported breast cancer awareness and health screening activities, assisting with vital signs assessment, health screenings, patient counselling and breast examinations. The initiative screened over 150 women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond giving participants access to health screenings and breast health awareness, the initiative offered DMU students valuable hands-on clinical exposure and the chance to contribute meaningfully to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative reflects the College of Medicine\u2019s commitment to bringing together clinical learning, community engagement and healthcare outreach through student-led efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
