Established in 2004, the Oman Cancer Association’s objective is to create public awareness for all types of cancers, through community-based programmes and spread the importance of self-examination and early presentation as the key to early diagnosis and proper, timely intervention. The association primarily aims to educate the community on the early signs and symptoms of different cancers. The Oman Cancer Association works hand in hand with the healthcare providers in the field of cancer management as a patient support group, helping patients get early appointments to appropriate doctors and act as a support to the patients to help them understand their problem.
