Mark Lawler protecting all cancer patients in war-torn regions
Mark Lawler shared a post by Union for International Cancer Control, on X :
“On World Humanitarian Day we add our voices to the call to protect all cancer patients in war-torn regions who are innocent bystanders of war.
We ask you to support our Manifesto on Improving Cancer Care in Conflict-Impacted Populations, published in The Lancet and European Cancer Organisation.”
Quoting Union for International Cancer Control’s post:
“UICC condemns all attacks on healthcare facilities and workers.
We stand in solidarity with those affected in conflict zones and call for humanitarian law to be upheld so that health and cancer care remain accessible.”
