Min. of Health Launches National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

As part of National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, the Ministry of Health, Wellness, and Elderly Affairs has reaffirmed its commitment to honoring the courage of children battling cancer, those who have survived, and those who have tragically succumbed to this devastating illness. Under the theme "Reducing the Survival Gap," the Ministry seeks to raise awareness, advocate for improved treatment options, and support affected families throughout Saint Lucia. Throughout the month of September, the Ministry will focus on celebrating advances in childhood cancer treatment, remembering the children we’ve lost, and rallying new advocates to join the fight against childhood cancer. This initiative aims to ensure that every child has the opportunity to live a long, healthy, and fulfilling life, free from the ravages of this disease.
