Join the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) to honor World Cancer Day on February 4. The UICC takes the lead every year to raise awareness and advocate for initiatives to promote equality and integrate cancer control into the world health and development agenda.
The theme for World Cancer Day is “Closing the Gap” — a bid to close the equity gap that barriers that many patients face when trying to obtain cancer care, such as income, education, geographical location and discrimination. Half the world’s population lacks access to a full range of essential health services, resulting in many people lacking basic cancer care.1
