Friends of Cancer Patients (FOCP) orchestrated a heartwarming visit to 25 children undergoing cancer treatment at Mediclinic Hospital Dubai, led by Emirati astronauts Nora AlMatrooshi and Mohammad AlMulla from the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC). The visit was also attended by Aisha Al Mulla, Director of FOCP, Johan Snygg, Medical Director of Mediclinic Hospital Dubai, and several dedicated physicians overseeing the children’s treatment programmes.

The visit came under moral and psychological support programmes, in line with FOCP’s firm belief in the pivotal role it plays in supporting cancer patients. The visit sought to provide the children with emotional support and enable them to explore space and gain insights into the journeys of astronauts. Moreover, the kids were encouraged to express their ideas, feelings, and dreams. Furthermore, their questions and inquiries about outer space were answered, as they engaged with the two Emirati astronauts and listened to their inspiring experiences.
