🚭 World No Tobacco Day is on 31 May.
But wouldn’t it be great if every day was a no tobacco day?
Tobacco remains one of the preventable causes of cancer and is responsible for 27% of cancer cases in the EU.
✔️ Do not smoke

Understanding your family health history helps you and your doctor better identify a possible higher risk of breast cancer and make more informed decisions about screening, prevention, and care.
Know your background and share this information with doctor. #yourhealthisinyourhands

Around 304 million people live outside their country of birth, yet most people stay where they are.

Migration is global but not the lived reality for most people. Our new World Migration Report puts the numbers in perspective.

Sometimes fear of finding out can stop people from going to a check-up or talking to a doctor.

But prevention and early detection can make a real difference.

Taking care of your health starts with not hesitating to ask questions or get checked.

Mammography is the most reliable method of early breast cancer detection.

In Slovakia, mammography is fully covered by all health insurance companies for women aged 45-75.

[IOM Slovakia @IOMSlovakia]

Regular breast cancer screening can detect cancer at stages when the chances of successful treatment are high.
Screening mammography is intended for women aged 45 to 74 once every 2 years. It is considered the most reliable method for early detection. #yourhealthisinyourhands

In 2018, countries came together and agreed on a shared framework - Global Compact #ForMigration - to improve how migration is governed.

At the International Migration Review Forum #IMRF2026 next week, governments will review progress on these commitments & shape next steps.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women.
In Slovakia, more than 3,000 new cases are diagnosed every year.
Prevention and early detection matter - and having the right information can make a difference.
