Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Wednesday, February 12th 2014 [ME NewsWire]
Dubai Airports demonstrated its support for global cancer awareness today by unveiling the world’s largest cancer awareness ribbon on an air traffic control tower at Dubai International as part of a major global campaign under the theme "Early Detection Saves Lives!” The massive ribbon, made in 24 colours to represent all types of cancer – measures 128 feet in length and 60 feet across, and spans nearly the entire height of the ATC tower. Launched under the patronage of H. H. Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and Chairman of Dubai Airports, the campaign will offer airport employees free check-ups at facilities set up by Dubai’s Saudi German Hospital and International Modern hospital at Terminals 1 and 3.
