World NGO Day is an international day dedicated to recognize, celebrate and honor all non-governmental and nonprofit organizations, and the people behind them that contribute to society all year around.
The disparity is even more striking in case of cervical cancer where 90% of new cases and deaths from this preventable cancer occurs in low- and middle-income countries

Low-and-middle-income countries shoulder most of the cancer burden. In 2020, out of nearly 10 million cancer-related deaths worldwide, 70% were in low-and-middle-income countries.
Here are some symptoms of cancer:
•Unexplained weight loss
•Chronic tiredness
•Persistent pain
•Fever or night sweats
•Skin changes
•Headaches
If left untreated, cancer may develop into more symptoms like:
•Bruising or bleeding
It's International #ChildhoodCancer Day.
Most children with #cancer can be cured. Yet, it is a leading cause of death for children. To increase survival rates:
➡️ Diagnose on time
➡️ Access & complete treatment
➡️ Manage toxicity
➡️ Monitor for relapse
The Target Goal of the WHO Global Childhood Cancer Initiative is to eliminate all pain and suffering of children fighting cancer and achieve at least 60% survival for all children diagnosed with cancer around the world by 2030.
#ProjectCHAM#ChildHoodCancerDay#CancerAwareness
International Childhood Cancer Day is a global collaborative campaign to raise awareness about childhood cancer, and to express support for children and adolescents with cancer, the survivors and their families.
Every year, more than 400,000 children and adolescents below 20, are diagnosed with cancer. The rate of survival depends on the region, with 80% survival in most High Income Countries but as low as 20% only in Low and MIddle Income Countries.

Use this day to reinforce self-love – in your children.
Help them develop self-beliefs such as “I am kind. I am competent. I am lovable” and this will likely put them on a path to good self-esteem, self-love and love for others.

Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and destroy body tissue.
Unfortunately, it has become a common phenomenon that needs to be given sufficient attention. February 4th is World Cancer Day.
A study has ascertained that the intake of alcohol can be linked to cancer. It increases the risk of cancer associated with the mouth, throat, esophagus, liver, voice box, breast, colon, and rectum. Most people do not know this.
While many studies have shown that survival outcomes are similar for both left- and right-sided breast cancer, some findings have suggested that left-sided breast cancer may lead to worse survival rates and higher chances of cancer recurring (coming back).
