World Cancer Day

Cancer is a major killer in the South-East Asia Region, accounting for an estimated 1.1 million deaths each year. Approximately half of those who die of cancer, die prematurely, i.e. below the age of 60 years.
To raise awareness and to reduce the burden of cancer, 4 February has been designated World Cancer Day by the Union for International Cancer Control. This year's theme is "Together it is possible". The theme highlights that it is only when every person, organization and government does its part will the world be able to reduce premature deaths from cancer and other noncommunicable diseases.
