Odilia Jacobs – From the Cancer
Association of South Africa spoke to us about the SunSmart Health Campaign. As part of its SunSmart
Health Campaign during the summer season, CANSA encourages everyone, young and
old to take responsibility and control of their health to reduce the risk of
skin cancer. According to CANSA's CEO Sue Janse van Rensburg "Skin cancer
can be prevented - make sure you and your loved ones play safe all year round,
but especially in summer time when the sun's rays are the harshest”. As we
spend more time outdoors this summer, remember to check your skin regularly for
changes, unusual marks or moles. An annual medical check-up should include a
skin check to detect possible skin cancer early. Everyone exposed to the sun is
at risk of developing skin cancer whether you have light or dark skin. For more
information, contact CANSA toll free number on 0800
22 66 22 or go to www.cansa.org.za
