Qatar Cancer Society (QCS) has launched a ‘win the challenge’ campaign, as part of the World Cancer Day campaign, which took place on February 4.
The campaign will continue throughout the current month to raise community awareness of the disease, methods of prevention, and early detection, and promote the concept of justice in the fight against cancer, through many events, activities, and competitions, in addition to virtual workshops and awareness campaigns across platforms.
The World Cancer Day campaign by the Union for International Cancer Control had the slogan ‘close the gap in cancer care,’ this year. The exercise will continue for three years to unite people, organisations, and governments to create awareness and increase equal opportunities in the field of cancer and its various services.
Several awareness videos for the 'win the challenge' campaign were produced with the participation of public figures, as well as awareness competitions on social media platforms and virtual awareness workshops about cancer.
A virtual workshop for capacity building of cancer awareness promoters and another in partnership with the Ministry of Public Health for health workers were held as part of the campaign, in addition to publishing stories of hope on many platforms involving people living with cancer in virtual workshops as well as fundraising campaign through Ooredoo app using Nojoom points.
Dr Hadi Mohamed Abu Rasheed from the Department of Professional Development and Scientific Research at QCS and a member of the Advisory Committee of the International Campaign for World Cancer Day said the campaign aims to raise awareness about the fight against cancer, and calls on the cancer community, governments, and healthcare providers to take measures commensurate with national needs and resources to reduce inequality, through several efforts.
