COPENHAGEN, Feb. 4 (Xinhua) In a move marking the World Cancer Day, the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe (WHO/Europe) on Thursday launched an initiative aimed at addressing severe disruptions to cancer services amid the pandemic. Today we are launching a pan-European cancer initiative to unite all towards better cancer control and prevention and to enable policy-makers to make the right decisions to address cancer effectively, said Hans Kluge, WHO Regional Director for Europe, in a statement.
According to the WHO, cancer services have been disrupted across the entire WHO European Region by travel restrictions and the enormous strain on health systems fighting COVID-19.

Crown Princess Mary shared a poignant message about hope for an end to the coronavirus pandemic on the Danish Royal House’s Instagram account.
The post, shared Wednesday afternoon, comes after the Crown Princess attended a meeting of the World Health Organisation’s Regional Office for Europe earlier in the day, where the ambassadors for the region received an update on the coronavirus and a status on vaccinations.
“What I took with me from the briefing was that even though there is still a long way to go, there is reason to be optimistic – infection rates are falling in several places, we are constantly building up new important knowledge… and then we now have the vaccine. I can feel in myself and others around me that it feels heavy right now and that our patience is being put to the test. Therefore, it is good to hear that we can be hopeful – it can give us energy to persevere and hold on.”
