Woman Cancer Institute (WCI)
The Women's Cancer Foundation (WCF)* was founded in 2023 by Mrs. Diana Boudargham Tannoury, who defeated ovarian cancer. In partnership with Hôtel-Dieu de France (HDF), WCF established the Women's Cancer Institute (WCI), led by Professor David Atallah, with the mission to raise awareness about gynecological cancers, promote early detection, and offer financial assistance to underprivileged cancer patients to ensure access to quality treatment.
The foundation organizes year-round events to highlight the importance of screening for HPV, early detection of ovarian cancer, and regular breast cancer screening.
