World cancer day was originated in 2000 at the first World Summit Against Cancer in Paris. It was an initiative of the Union for International Cancer Control supporting the goals of the 2008 World Cancer Declaration. The significance of the day is to create awareness and involve the government leaders and policy makers to reduce the global cancer burden. This can only be achieved by an integrated approach where every single individual contributes.
Turacoz Healthcare Solutions as a medical communication company is joining the fight against cancer by launching an online portal exclusively for creating awareness, bringing the latest in healthcare in terms of diagnosis, management, quality of life and rehabilitation.
The theme for 2015 is "Not Beyond Us" with a main goal to reduce cancer related illness and deaths by 2020. It calls for a positive approach towards the problem with the best utilization of available resources and solutions.
The four key areas of focus this year are:
Choosing healthy lifestyles
Delivering early detection
Achieving treatment for all
Maximizing quality of all
The journey towards a cancer free world is long and enduring. The participation of every individual, community, healthcare professionals, pharmaceuticals, biotech companies and policy makers in their own capacities can achieve the goals and targets of World Cancer Day.
