World Cancer Day- Let’s Create A Cancer-Free World Together

World Cancer Day is celebrated globally on 4th February every year under which the entire world can unite and fight against global cancer. World Cancer Day is a global initiative that is led by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). The overall aim is to raise awareness about cancer throughout the world, improve education, and take proper steps for catalyzing personal, collective, and government action. World Cancer Day is also aimed at bringing people together and creating a world where millions of preventable cancer deaths are saved and people have proper and equal access to life-saving cancer treatment and care.

Today World Cancer Day has grown into a positive movement for the masses. It is an initiative to unite people under one voice to face one of the most dangerous and deadliest challenges in human history. Every year hundreds of activities and events are conducted to make the event special. People gather together in schools, hospitals, marketplaces, parks, community halls, and places of worship. The motive is to send out a strong message and create awareness about the role everyone is playing in reducing the global impact of cancer.
