Polikalipo Kagina, Chairman at Youth Advocates for Cancer Awareness, shared on LinkedIn:
“More than 200 million people live in countries where radiotherapy is not accessible.
Behind this number are mothers, fathers, children, families and communities whose chances of surviving cancer can be affected by where they live.
Every person with cancer deserves equitable access to safe, timely, affordable and high-quality radiotherapy regardless of geography or income.
Radiotherapy should be accessible, equitable and affordable to those who need it, when they need it, wherever they live.
Radiotherapy is not a luxury.
We have a number of event ideas and suggestions available on the website to help you get involved. Don’t forget to register your department’s event and be part of the global movement for radiotherapy awareness.”
