  1. Pink ribbon, world cancer day
    World Cancer Day highlights the global impact of cancer, a group of diseases where abnormal cells grow uncontrollably and can spread to other parts of the body (metastasis). Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, causing about 10 million deaths each year—roughly 1 in 6.

    Annually, nearly 20 million new cancer cases are diagnosed. Many are preventable, and early detection significantly improves outcomes. Education, screening, and patient-centred support are essential to reducing the disease's impact and saving lives.
