ACT NOW 30-Day Screening to Treatment

“ACT NOW: 30-day Screening to Treatment," this event by PCS, PSO, and QCHD emphasizes immediate, effective cancer care, featuring health leaders, policymakers, and community advocates.

The World Cancer Day Celebration in Quezon City is a powerful convergence of healthcare innovation, policy advocacy, and community engagement. Under the inspiring theme "ACT NOW: 30-day Screening to Treatment," this event is dedicated to revolutionizing how cancer care is perceived and delivered. It begins with a vibrant banner campaign, invoking community spirit and commitment, followed by welcoming addresses from prominent leaders.

Throughout the morning, attendees will experience the launch of pivotal campaigns such as the "ACT NOW" initiative, partnerships with leading healthcare institutions like St. Luke's Medical Center QC Cancer Institute, East Avenue Medical Center, Lung Center of the Philippines for lung cancer screening, and intensified HPV vaccination efforts. Each session is designed to empower the community with knowledge and actionable strategies, from lung cancer screening advancements to anti-tobacco campaigns and policy discussions that support cancer prevention.

Interactive sessions offer a platform for dialogue between health experts and the community, while simultaneous cancer screenings ensure immediate access to vital health services. With a blend of education, ceremony, and practical health interventions, this event not only commemorates World Cancer Day but also sets the stage for sustained community action in the fight against cancer.
