Have you ever thought about donating your hair? Well, now's the time! Our Hair Donation Campaign aims to create wigs for cancer patients who have lost their hair during treatment.
Every strand of hair holds the power to bring a smile to someone's face. This is your chance to make a difference.
Join us on the hair donation campaign at Mediclinic Airport Road Hospital in collaboration with Friends of Cancer Patients and emirates cancer society and get the chance to win return airline tickets.
When: 23 October 2024 from 2 PM to 8 PM
Where: Mediclinic Airport Road, East wing, Main lobby
