THANK YOU to everyone who supported us in 2023! Together we were able to continue working towards our goal of leading South Africa towards a cancer-free society.
We’re excited to share our Impact by Numbers for 2023 – how YOU helped us - and look forward to an awesome 2024!

[Union for International #CancerControl @uicc]

People with an experience of cancer should be central to the policymaking process.

This session at the #WCLS2023 showcases successful examples of participatory approaches from patient groups around the world. It's time for this approach to become institutional - not exceptional.

Congratulations on an inspirational and much-needed initiative #LeaveNoOneBehind

[CANSA @CANSA]

The number of patients, that are contacting CANSA complaining about the challenges they are facing with colostomy bags are increasing. Shortages of stock and instances where there is no stock of colostomy bags at all is an ongoing problem in South African government hospitals.

Today is #WorldHepatitisDay. Hepatitis B or C viral infections are one of the causes of #LiverCancer.

Most people discover they have hepatitis B or C after many years of silent infection, and only when they develop serious liver disease or cancer.
