Each day, approximately 13 100 people in the WHO European Region receive the life-changing news that they have cancer. This statistic is compounded by a further 6000 people who lose their lives to the disease every day.
Today, on World Cancer Day, WHO/Europe launches United Action Against Cancer to galvanize support and cooperation from grassroots to governments using a wide variety of underutilized tools with the long-term vision of eliminating cancer as a life-threatening disease in Europe.
While the movement encompasses all of society, the responsibility for tackling cancer lies with policy-makers, who must close gaps in access to care and ensure healthier environments for citizens.
