World Cancer Day
To further raise awareness and sensitize the public about cancer, World Cancer Day is commemorated on February 4 annually.
The theme for #WCD2024, “Close the Care Gap”, has resonated deeply within our communities. It has served as a rallying cry, igniting conversations and urging global leaders to invest and allocate essential resources for eradicating cancer.
We have seen progress, but the journey is far from over. There are still barriers to overcome, inequalities to address, and lives to be saved. As we stand on the threshold of change, we must remain steadfast in our commitment to confronting the cancer crisis with compassion, courage, and conviction.
On this 2024 World Cancer Day, let us reaffirm our resolve to bridge the divide, challenge the status quo, and empower individuals and communities to take control of their health and well-being. Together, we have the power to shape a future where cancer no longer casts a shadow of fear and uncertainty.
Chief Barr. (Mrs.) Chioma Uzodimma.
