Sanad is comprised of a group of trained breast cancer survivors that help female breast cancer patients reclaim a positive body image and a healthy lifestyle.

This is done by providing practical assistance, support, encouragement and education on a one-on-one basis during diagnosis, treatment and recovery from breast cancer.

Daily, weekly and monthly group and individual meetings are organized for patients and their families.

Sanad members educate and share with patients their own personal experiences with cancer. Here, Sanad members wipe the tears of KHCC breast cancer patients who experience the same pain and emotions that their Sanad colleagues experienced in their battle with cancer. This instills a deep-rooted trust, a bond that a woman needs to overcome her fears.

Hope and encouragement are communicated through personal visits to outpatient clinics, chemotherapy units, patient rooms, over the phone and even at home. The Sanad group also educates women on early detection of breast cancer.
