KUWAIT: VIVA, a
world-class digital leader providing innovative services and platforms to
customers and enabling the digital transformation in Kuwait, and a subsidiary
of STC Group, organized a Breast Cancer awareness session for its employees at
VIVA's headquarter building, under the #because_we_care umbrella.

The event
embraced several activities that brought the employees together to learn more
about the health cause. The awareness session conducted by Dr Faisal
Al-Terkait, consultant medical oncologist and Head of the breast cancer unit at
the Kuwait Cancer Control Center, MBBS, MRCP, CCT (UK), highlighted the
importance of prevention and early screening which will in return reduce the
probability of diagnosis and any required aggressive treatment. Terkait also
discussed with VIVA's female employees the risks of the disease, its signs and
symptoms and the given age and factors that play a main role in choosing the
proper time of when one should start screening.

As part of the
#because_we_care campaign, the Public Relations team at VIVA distributed pink
roses as invitations to encourage all female employees to attend the session as
well as ribbon pins that represent the international logo of breast cancer
awareness. Accordingly, the turnout was beyond expected which helped spread
awareness among the employees who have shown interest in the topic of
discussion and were highly interactive with the doctor.

This session
falls in line with VIVA corporate social responsibility agenda that strives to
support different initiatives all in benefit of the society and the employees.
VIVA has concluded the session by recognizing Dr Terkait with a trophy for his
efforts and participation in this special occasion.
