February is an important month for raising awareness about cancer, marked by two key observances: World Cancer Day (WCD) on February 4 and International Childhood Cancer Day (ICCD) on February 15.
World Cancer Day (WCD) is a global initiative that unites people in the fight against all types of cancer. It emphasizes the importance of prevention, early detection, and effective treatment. WCD seeks to educate the public about cancer and encourage individuals to take actions that can make a difference. Campaign activities often include awareness programs, community events, and social media initiatives, which inspire people to share stories of hope and survivorship while promoting regular health check-ups and preventive measures.
International Childhood Cancer Day (ICCD) focuses on improving the lives of children affected by cancer and their families. It highlights the urgent need for better access to diagnosis, treatment, and supportive services. ICCD campaigns aim to educate the public about childhood cancer, raise funds, and advocate for the development of early detection and effective treatment strategies for children.
Both WCD and ICCD provide valuable opportunities to highlight the challenges faced by cancer patients—especially children—and to promote initiatives that improve care and survival rates. Participating in these campaigns not only raises awareness but also fosters solidarity and hope for individuals and families affected by cancer worldwide.
Dedicated to supporting children with cancer and their families, MAHAK actively participates in both ICCD and WCD campaigns by organizing awareness programs, fundraising initiatives, and advocacy efforts. Through these activities, MAHAK aims to increase public understanding of childhood cancer and continuously enhance the quality of care provided to children and their families.
