World Cancer Day 2024 - Raising Rays of Hope for Cancer Care for All
Channel: IAEAvideo
Date: 2024-02-01

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The disease places its heaviest burden on low- and middle-income countries, where over 70% of cancer deaths are expected to occur by 2040, yet these countries receive only 5% of global spending in this area. 
 
Through #RaysofHope, the IAEA is helping to increase access to life saving radiotherapy and diagnostic imaging services used in cancer care, focusing on low- and middle- income countries where the need is far greatest.
