World Cancer Day History

World Cancer Day is celebrated every year on 4th Feb to encourage our societies to give those people hope who are diagnosed with cancer and give them the confidence to survive this fatal disease.

This day is led by a non-governmental organization named the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), which was previously known as International Union Against Cancer.

This organization is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, having almost 2000 members in more than 170 countries.

It was formed in 1933, to promote the fight against cancer and raise awareness to mitigate it from society by organizing various social activities. Currently, Professor Anil D’Cruz of India is the President of this organization.

Under the Union for International Cancer Control, the first World Cancer Day was celebrated in Geneva in 1993 and got support from many well-known health organizations and cancer societies.

It was first made official in the year 2000 during the first World Summit Against Cancer, which took place in Paris, France.

This summit was attended by many prominent world leaders who gave their approval to improve and facilitate the quality of life of cancer patients worldwide, by signing a document titled “Charter of Paris Against Cancer” featuring 10 articles.

To advance the facilities and increase investment in the field of research and prevention were the highlights of this document. Article X of the charter officially declared World Cancer Day on February 4.

According to the World Cancer Declaration 2008, the governmental leaders and policymakers of all states should reduce the global burden of cancer.

This is possible only when the great equity to easy access to cancer services will be provided to all the people without any discrimination.

This declaration has set out nine targets that should be achieved by the year 2025. The target is to mitigate the fear of premature deaths by 25% from cancer by improving quality of life and cancer survival rate.
