The QoL program offers many opportunities to get involved that can fit in well with people’s interests and schedules. From giving a cancer patient a ride to their treatment appointment, to participating in a community event or providing direct support to the patient – there are many ways to get involved. As part of our diverse program, any volunteer can find an opportunity that fits well with their interests, as well as flexible options that will fit with their schedule. Some of the ways you can contribute and make a difference include:
- Administration and Education
Volunteers can help cancer patients stay healthy through education by sharing lifesaving prevention and early detection messages and spreading the word about cancer as a treatable disease if detected early. - Patient Services and Support
Volunteers can offer direct assistance and support to cancer patients and their families to help improve their quality of life. Such support may include but is not limited to: driving cancer patients to and from appointments, helping to organize patient support programs, babysitting etc. There are many ways you can help and if you have any suggestions on how to do so, please let us know. - Community Events
Volunteers can help organize or take part in events planned by the QoL team and use their voice to ensure all people living in Qatar are aware that they have access to cancer screenings, treatment, and quality health care. The State of Qatar covers 100% of all fees related to cancer treatment which means that cancer patients can access a service which includes treatment, education and support, totally free of charge.
