Second Stage we will introduce Radiotherapy, Chemotherapy and simple surgeries at Badr Al Samaa, Ruwi and Alkhoud and in the third stage will have Tertiary center for cancer treatment like PET Scan and  dedicated comprehensive cancer care units”.


Citizens and residents who wish to participate can undergo a detailed questionnaire including history and symptoms which give the risk of developing any of the six most common cancers followed by personalized, protocol based screening tests. The cost of this initial screening (Cancer early detection program)is RO 5.000 (Five Rial) only which includes consultation, counseling and a filling up of detailed questionnaire . 


All screenings tests are based on WHO and other standard international guidelines. With this Badr Al Samaa is aiming to detect pre-cancer symptoms and early cancers and provide adequate treatment. It is aimed to diagnose five common cancers including Breast, Colorectal, Cervical, Oral and Prostate cancers in the early stages.
