Shaikh Khalifa Medical City (SKMC) will observe the International Childhood Cancer Day (ICCD) today with a variety of awareness activities for the public.
The programmes will help raise awareness on the advantage of early diagnosis in saving children’s lives.
To be organised in association with the Abu Dhabi Health Services Company — SEHA, and the National Drilling Company, the two-day activities will include a host of informative programmes for children and their parents at different shopping malls in the capital.
The International Confederation of Childhood Cancer Parent Organisation (ICCCPO) observes the ICCD, which was declared in Luxembourg in September 2001 to stress on the importance of early diagnosis of the disease so as to ensure effective treatment of children.
ICCCPO estimates that up to 100,000 children die from cancer worldwide each year because they lack access to optimal treatment. Source
