Event Description : "Voices for Cancer : 'YOUR' role in Prevention" Discussion.

Cancer is a leading cause of deaths in India and its incidence is likely to rise five-fold by 2025 [World Health Organization]. With such a grim future, health communicators and the media become crucial for disseminating important cancer prevention and treatment information to the public. Many cancers are treatable if diagnosed early and thus awareness is important to reduce the burden and stigma attached to it.

Join the discussion on how we can bridge the gap between the public and their access to key health information on cancer, and how effective communication and public engagement can remove the stigma attached to it. See how different stakeholders and most importantly YOU can play an important role in cancer prevention? 

How can YOU reduce fear about cancer? 

What can WE do to reduce discrimination?

How can YOU help your family and friends overcome their fears about cancer?

How can YOU be the change agent towards a healthier tomorrow?

Panellists will include, Cancer survivor, Researcher, Cancer NGO, Media and YOU the audience
