Today on World Cancer Day, First Lady Jeannette Kagame urged people to educate people to get cancer tests before the diseases appear. People with cancer are our parents and brothers and sisters to take care of. It is necessary to give up tobacco, not to consume too much alcohol, to practice sport constantly, to consume a complete diet with fruits and vegetables. Read her message below:
“Let us remember that behind global statistics cancer is a mother, a father, a sibling or a child, whose life will never be the same again after their diagnosis. On this World Cancer Day, let us pledge to continue educating our people about the importance of living healthy lifestyles, which include regular medical check-ups, in order for our communities to receive the necessary treatment in time”.
