The Ministry of Public (MoPH) launched the 2021 Cancer Awareness Calendar yesterday, in a commitment to continue its efforts to promote cancer prevention in the country.
The 2021 Cancer Awareness Calendar was launched during a virtual event held to mark the World Cancer Day 2021 under the theme ‘I am and I will’ to promote awareness of cancer, methods of prevention, and importance of early detection.
“World Cancer Day is a unique day that unites people, communities around the world to raise awareness and implement the required interventions. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted most cancer-related services worldwide. Our commitment for 2021 is that MoPH will continue its efforts to promote health, raise awareness of cancer prevention, and refute and correct misconceptions by continuing to implement various health programmes and projects,” said Public Health Director at MoPH S
