Addressing the escalating cancer crisis in India demands urgent action. From 1.2 million cases in 2019 to 1.41 million in 2022, the numbers speak volumes about the challenge we face. Prevention and early detection are critical, yet many cases remain unnoticed until it’s too late.
On World Cancer Day 2024, VHAI organised awareness sessions and campaigns reaching 500+ individuals, including women’s groups, frontline health workers, adolescents, students, and teachers. The sessions and campaigns stressed on the significance of preventive care, regular screenings, and embracing a healthy lifestyle to combat cancer.
