Kuwait International Bank (KIB) recently sponsored the 4th cervical cancer national awareness campaign, which was organized by Safira CSR Company in partnership with the Ministry of Health. The national campaign was held at the Department of Women's Activities at the Patients Helping Fund Society (PHFS), in cooperation with the Business and Professional Women Network (BPWN).
As part of the campaign, Dr. Ebtehal Al-Habib, Family Medicine Consultant, provided a carefully crafted introductory lecture, as well as an awareness lecture entitled “Causes and Prevention”. Through which, she shed the light on the importance of maintaining a health triangle for women that measures three different aspects of a person’s health, namely: physical, social and mental. Each aspect is equally important in maintaining a healthy and effective professional and pesonal life.
Maha Al-Baghli, Founder and Managing Director of Safira CSR Company and manager of this health campaign, lauded KIB’s highly-valued sponsorship. She added that cooperation between the public and private sectors in supporting awareness campaigns and social responsibility initiatives plays a huge role in promoting sustainable development in Kuwait.
On his part, Manager of the Corporate Communications Unit at KIB, Nawaf Najia, said: “As a national financial institution and a leader in social responsibility, KIB has always sought to sponsor high-impact initiatives and programs that aim at addressing pressing issues that affect diverse segments of the local community.”
Najia added that KIB’s sponsorship of this campaign came as part of its unwavering commitment to promoting women’s health and supporting her role in the family and the community as a whole. Accordingly, the Bank is dedicated to promoting awareness about cervical cancer, particularly as a recent study by the Ministry of Health found that the majority of females in the population are unaware of the dangers of cervical cancer, or its causes and methods of prevention.
