As we observe Childhood Cancer Awareness Month this September, Burjeel Medical City in Abu Dhabi takes centre stage for its Paediatric Oncology Department that provides comprehensive and compassionate healthcare services to children battling cancer and their families. Burjeel Medical City, the regional hub for oncology and complex care, is a renowned name for offering multidisciplinary care to paediatric patients across the country and beyond. The Abu Dhabi hospital has a range of specialised paediatric departments that work in harmony to provide comprehensive care for children in need of treatment and support. The hospital’s Paediatric Oncology Department stands as a pillar of strength throughout the treatment journey for young patients diagnosed with various types of cancer. “Early detection is a powerful weapon in the fight against childhood cancers,” says Prof. Humaid Al Shamsi, Consultant and Director of Oncology Services, Burjeel Holdings. “Regular check-ups and awareness of warning signs can make all the difference in ensuring the best possible outcome for young patients. Parents must be vigilant about any persistent symptoms in children, including recurring pains, lumps or mass on the body, constant tiredness and unexplained weight loss.”
