Cancer continues to impact lives, families, and communities, and women face unique challenges in this battle, particularly in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. At last week’s 77th #WorldHealthAssembly we discussed these challenges, joining a diverse community of global health experts, policymakers, and representatives from patient organizations. Our aim is for dialogue on women's cancer in the Middle East and Africa, advocating the integration of gender-sensitive approaches and bridging the gap between policy development and implementation. Important discussions were initiated at the side-event “Uniting Voices for Action on Women Cancer in the EMR” hosted by the NCD Alliance. United, we possess the capacity to address the burden of #WomenCancer in the #EMR and prioritize it on the global health agenda! #WHA77 #WomenCancer #Cancer #BreastCancer #CervicalCancer

Black Americans face a higher incidence rate of Pancreatic Cancer than any other ethnic/racial group in the U.S. It's time to raise awareness, advocate for equitable healthcare access, and support research to reduce this disparity. Join us on June 8th at Montrose Harbor at DASH for Detection to help us raise awareness for early detection to give families a fighting chance. Together, we’re #StrongerThanCancer 💜

From raising awareness about early detection to promoting healthy lifestyles, the power of our communities can’t be overstated. International health agencies on Cancer Research have highlighted the importance of strong community networks in improving breast cancer care. Together, we can push for better healthcare policies, advocate for more screening centers, and ensure no one faces cancer alone. Every act of support counts, from sharing knowledge to providing a shoulder to lean on.

Today, as we celebrate the strength, resilience and achievements of women worldwide, it’s important to shed a light on an often-overlooked health reality: Lung cancer is the #1 cancer killer in women in the US, surpassing breast cancer. Yet, the awareness about this topic lags significantly behind, and the stigma remains prevalent. Many people are unaware of this statistic, and that silence can be as dangerous as the disease itself. How can we make a difference? - Advocate for regular health screenings and policies that promote lung health. - Share stories and resources to create a supportive community for those affected. At OncoSwab, our main mission is to simplify lung cancer detection, eliminating barriers that hinder prompt diagnosis. Happy International Women’s Day everybody 💪💜 #iwd #lungcancer #cancerscreening #startupjourney #femalefounder
