Burjeel Cancer Institute launches new facility for breast health

UAE-based Burjeel Cancer Institute (BCI), the oncology arm of Burjeel Holdings, has announced the opening of a new multidisciplinary care facility for breast health. The Burjeel Breast Center is poised to become a one-stop destination for women with both malignant and benign breast conditions, providing a spectrum of services from screening to treatment. Situated within Burjeel Medical City, it is designed to offer same-day appointments and diagnoses during the initial consultation. It has a women-led medical team and a special unit dedicated to breast reconstruction for surgical cases. Technology is a cornerstone of the facility, with the HOLOGIC 3Dimensions Mammography System leading the charge for early and precise detection of breast abnormalities. The integration of AI-driven breast radiology systems further enhances the diagnostic process by aiding radiologists in interpreting ultrasounds, mammograms and MRIs, thereby minimising the likelihood of incorrect diagnoses. Burjeel Cancer Institute CEO Humaid Al Shamsi said: 'The Burjeel Breast Center reimagines the breast care journey by offering an empathetic, data-driven, and efficient clinical environment. 'By removing barriers to early detection such as long wait times and the need for prior appointments, we are empowering women to take charge of their health. Early intervention is key, and our walk-in model ensures no time is lost.' Another aspect of the facility is the introduction of the Survivorship Lounge, an initiative aimed at supporting breast cancer survivors. The space focuses on life post-treatment, offering resources and support to empower survivors. Burjeel Holdings Group CEO John Sunil said: 'The launch of Burjeel Breast Center reflects our commitment to raising the standard of women's healthcare in the region.' In addition to the centre, Burjeel Cancer Institute is set to launch the Burjeel Cancer Institute Pharmacy. In February 2025, Burjeel Holdings acquired an 80% stake in Advanced Care Oncology Center, with plans to establish a radiation oncology network across the Gulf Cooperation Council region.
