World Cancer Day 2022 – “Closing the Care Gap”

World Cancer Day takes place on 4 February 2022. This initiative unites communities worldwide to raise awareness and promote education about cancer, prompting governments to take action against the disease. This year’s theme is “closing the gap”, which highlights the fact that half of the world’s population are unable to access essential health services. Health inequities (as opposed to inequalities, which refers to the uneven distribution of resources) can result from disparities in income and education, geographical location, and from discrimination based on ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability and lifestyle. Many equity gaps exist around the world, even in high-income countries. However, a number of recent initiatives offer hope to vulnerable individuals. Innovative ideas, such as new partnerships for delivering better screening systems and the use of digital technologies, can help to close the equity gap.
