🌍🚢 Lakeshore at the International Maritime Conference 2025
The BD and Corporate team proudly represented Lakeshore at the International Maritime Conference, Oriental Hotel, where we spotlighted the urgent need for cancer prevention and early detection in maritime communities.
Maritime workers and their families face unique health challenges—long periods at sea, limited access to healthcare, and delayed check-ups—often leading to late-stage cancer diagnoses.
In our presentation, we addressed:
🔹 Key cancer risk factors: to***co, alcohol, poor diet, occupational exposures
🔹 Viral agents like HPV, HBV, EBV and the importance of vaccinations
🔹 The global cancer burden and statistics on NCDs
🔹 Prevention through awareness, lifestyle changes, and workplace safety
🔹 The life-saving impact of timely screenings
We also emphasized the power of partnerships to bridge the gap in healthcare access for maritime communities.
It was inspiring to engage with stakeholders from the Customs, Navy, Army, Police, Seafarers, and international embassies—all eager to collaborate on future outreaches. Together, we can bring hope, equity, and dignity to underserved communities. 💙
