Doha, October 2, 2026: More than 1,000 participants gathered at Aspire Park on October 2 for ‘Can Walk’, the annual breast cancer awareness walkathon organised by Naseem Healthcare, turning the event into a strong community campaign promoting breast cancer awareness, early detection and timely screening.

Bringing together people from diverse backgrounds and age groups, the walkathon carried the message “Every Step Matters”. Participants walked together to highlight the importance of regular screening and early detection, while encouraging individuals and families to take a proactive approach to breast health.

The strong turnout reflected the growing community participation in Can Walk, which has evolved into an annual awareness platform for Naseem Healthcare and the wider community in Qatar. The initiative continues to bring people together each year, helping extend the message of breast cancer awareness beyond the event itself.

Speaking on the occasion, Babu Shanavas, General Manager Operations and HR, Naseem Healthcare, said, “Can Walk is more than a walkathon; it is a movement built around awareness, community and the belief that every step can make a difference.”

Dr Munir Ali Ibrahim, General Manager Strategy, Naseem Healthcare, said the participation demonstrated the power of community engagement in spreading important health messages. “The participation we witnessed today is a powerful reminder that when people come together for a cause, the message travels much further. Our goal is to continue building this community and encourage more people to understand the importance of timely screening and early detection,” he said.

The event also reinforced the message that breast cancer awareness should continue beyond Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Regular screening, awareness of potential health concerns and timely consultation with healthcare professionals remain important aspects of proactive health management.

The strong participation at Aspire Park highlighted the growing public engagement with Can Walk and Naseem Healthcare’s continued commitment to preventive healthcare and community wellbeing. Through awareness campaigns, healthcare initiatives and community programmes, Naseem Healthcare aims to encourage individuals and families to take proactive steps towards healthier lives.
