WSP and AES Employee Benefits Consultancy partnered with Pink Caravan to provide free breast cancer screening for employees at WSP’s Sharjah office on October 7, 2026, making preventive healthcare more accessible during the working day.
The initiative included a breast cancer awareness session covering early detection, symptom recognition and breast self-examination. Employees then received clinical breast examinations and mammograms through the Pink Caravan mobile clinic. A total of 43 employees were screened during the visit.

“Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an important opportunity to move from awareness to action. By hosting the Pink Caravan mobile clinic at our workplace, we wanted to make trusted information and screening more accessible to our people during the working day. We are grateful to AES, Friends of Cancer Patients and the clinical team for helping colleagues prioritise their health.” said, Rehan Ali, Associate Director – Integrated Construction Leadership and Wellbeing Lead at WSP
Pink Caravan, an initiative of Friends of Cancer Patients (FOCP), has conducted breast cancer awareness and screening activities across the UAE since 2011. Its mobile clinics operate throughout October, enabling organisations to arrange workplace screening services for their employees.

The initiative aimed to encourage early detection by reducing common barriers to screening, including time constraints and the need to travel to healthcare facilities.
“Too often, people put these things off. Bringing screenings directly to people, at no cost and with no barriers, takes away every reason to wait. We’re happy to stand alongside WSP in making that happen, and grateful to the Pink Caravan for the work they do across the region.” said, Damien Walsh, Managing Director, AES Employee Benefits Consultancy
The partnership reflects a workplace-focused approach to health promotion, encouraging employees to prioritise regular screening and take proactive steps towards their wellbeing. Employers across the UAE can apply to host a Pink Caravan mobile clinic through Friends of Cancer Patients.
