It was held by Qatar Cancer Society (QCS) to highlight the main causes of the disease, ways to prevent it and provide women with a forum to ask questions about the diseases.
Participants also joined in a walk which was held to highlight the need for physical exercise to strengthen their immune system and increase their chances of preventing the disease. "QCS realises the importance of such events in increasing awareness about cancer in general and cervical cancer in particular," said Mariam Hamad Alnoaimi, Director-General, QCS.
