📊 Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. Every minute, 40 people are diagnosed with cancer globally, and embark on a journey to overcome it. 🔬 According to projections by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the number of annual cancer cases could rise to 35 million by 2050, a 77% increase since 2022. This week, on World Cancer Day, we honour the courage of those affected, celebrate scientific progress to treat the disease, and affirm our commitment to #healthforall. Here’s how YOU can make a difference in your community: ✔️ Educate on prevention & early detection. ✔️ Share personal stories & highlight patient experiences to humanize cancer care. ✔️ Promote people-centered care & emphasize the need to tailor treatment to individual needs. Prevention, early diagnosis, and improved treatments can save millions of lives. Learn more about cancer here ➡️ https://bit.ly/3EyIXSt
