In Arab countries, cancer is taboo. Arab cancer patients and their families are constantly searching for information in Arabic language. In fact, due to lack of sufficient Arabic cancer information, this disease have been on the rise for several decades. Please click here for a list of publications.

Certainly, it is imperative for the treating hospital and the specialist to provide such a resource. In terms of revenue for the hospital, the treatment of serious illnesses such as cancer, usually generate the largest revenue. So it would make sense for your organization to help its Arab patients and their families by offering them much needed Arabic cancer information. If you are not familiar with the revenue potential from Arab patients, please click here for more details.

Also, US medical centers are reaping the benefits for treating Arab patients. For example, Johns Hopkins projected revenue for the year 2002 is $200 million with 49% of its patients are from the Middle East (Hopkins Med News 1997). In fact, Arab patients are known to pay for all treatments before leaving the hospital and even to pay large deposits toward their treatments (Tampa General Hospital: Regina Grisales, International Patient Coordinator, “I got a wire for $75,000 for a deposit toward a kidney transplant. The patient isn't even here, yet I have the money in the bank”) Ref.

Our Publications:

Your organization will have ready access to a large number of Arabic cancer publications produced in PDF (Portable Document Format). The size of publications range from 1-5 pages, equivalent to about 8 pages of text, English language.  Clearly, due to lack of Arabic cancer patient information, such a service would be welcome by Arab cancer patients and is likely to boost Arab patient admissions to your organization.
