Warith International Cancer Institute

Congratulations to the teams at Warith International Cancer Institute who recently gave their treatment facilities a major upgrade with the addition of several new TrueBeam and Halcyon radiotherapy systems. With several liner accelerators having the optional HyperArc high-definition radiosurgery solution, the team will be especially well prepared to deliver stereotactic radiosurgery for their patients. Further additions of optional HyperSight imaging solutions will allow the teams to produce images that deliver the Hounsfield Unit accuracy necessary for treatment planning directly on the acquired CBCT images. These additions are poised to bring new access to advanced radiotherapy treatment options to patients in and around Basra and Kerbala, Iraq. We are proud to be your collaborators in this endeavor to improve patient outcomes, and together, we can build a world without fear of cancer.

As part of the "Rouh W’rya" initiative launched by Warith International Cancer Institute with the support and fund by #AlHussienHolyShrine, and in the framework of the "#MillionFreeEarlyScreening Campaign", #TheIraqHealthyLung Project has been initiated. This project symbolizes Warith commitment to raising awareness and conducting early detection of #lung_diseases, aiming to enhance #health #awareness within the community. In collaboration with specialized consultants from the University of Liverpool in the #UK, the initiative aims to provide high-quality healthcare services to citizens in Iraq, focusing on early detection and accurate #diagnosis of lung diseases.

We're thrilled to #announce the signing of a contract with Varian, Securing four cutting-edge #Halcyon radiation therapy systems, featuring the latest #HyperSight technology—the first of its kind in the region.

For the first time in Iraq, and with the support of the Holy Shrine of Imam Hussein, a #mobilePETscan unit will soon be launched to support the largest early cancer detection campaign in Iraq. Many of our community members, who are unwell, cannot endure the hardship of traveling to healthcare facilities, irrespective of their treatment needs. At the Warith Cancer Institute, we have resolved to reach out to them and ensure their health. A contract has been established to procure a mobile digital PET scan device equipped with the latest technologies for detecting various types of tumors. Additionally, the device offers other services, including examining heart muscle activity and ensuring artery safety. With this device, we can visit the homes of our community members and check on their health. We extend our best wishes for your well-being. 🤍
