February is an important month for raising awareness about cancer, featuring two key observances: World Cancer Day (WCD) on February 4 and International Childhood Cancer Day (ICCD) on February 15, respectively.
WCD is a global initiative that brings together people to fight against all types of cancer. It highlights the importance of prevention, early detection, and effective treatment. This day aims to inform individuals about the disease and ways they can contribute to making a difference. WCD Campaign often includes awareness-raising activities, community events, and social media initiatives to reach a wider audience. These initiatives encourage individuals to share stories of hope and survivorship while underscoring the importance of regular health check-ups and preventive measures.
ICCD focuses on improving the lives of children affected by cancer and their families. It emphasizes the urgent need for better access to diagnosis, treatment, and supportive services. The ICCD campaign aims to educate the public about childhood cancer and advocate for fundraising as well as develop detection and treatment strategies for children.
Both ICCD and WCD provide valuable opportunities to highlight the challenges faced by cancer patients, particularly children, and to promote initiatives that can lead to improved care and survival rate. Engaging in campaigns associated with these observances not only raises awareness but also fosters solidarity and hope for those affected by cancer worldwide.
Dedicated to supporting children with cancer and their families, MAHAK actively engages in both ICCD and WCD campaigns by organizing awareness programs, fundraising activities, and advocacy initiatives. Through these efforts, MAHAK aims to raise public awareness about childhood cancer and continuously enhance cancer care for children and their families.
