01 February - Health - World Cancer Day to promote ways to ease the global burden of cancer
In today's show we spoke to Esther Wilson – from the Cancer Association of South Africa. We were talking about the World Cancer Day. It is said that Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world. The World Health Organisation estimates that 84 million people will die of cancer between 2005 and 2015 without intervention. Each year on the 4th of February, the World Health Organisation supports International Union Against Cancer to promote ways to ease the global burden of cancer. Preventing cancer and raising quality of life for cancer patients are recurring themes. This year's theme is “Cancer can be prevented too”. Esther explained more about planned activities.
