cancer prevention 4 africa

Raising awareness is a key part of AfrOx's work. But this doesn't just mean raising awareness about cancer in Africa - it also means raising awareness about how to PREVENT cancer.

In partnership with ESMO, we've launched a series of posters to be trialled in Ghana. The posters include how to check for symptons of certain cancers, as well as tips about cancer prevention.


The posters are free to download from the AfrOx website.

World Cancer Day


To mark World Cancer Day, the Ghana Health Service and Cancer Society of Ghana held a series of events in Accra to raise awareness of cancer. 

The program of the day included a march by 500 school children to the National Hockey Stadium which was followed by speeches to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of cancer amongst the general public. 

Here are some snaps of the team, and the unveiling of AfrOx's Cancer Prevention posters...
