Today is World Cancer Day 🧡
⁠
Approximately 25,000 Kiwis are diagnosed with cancer every year. Cancer impacts the lives of almost every person, whether themselves or through family, friends and colleagues. ⁠
⁠
The theme is "United by Unique", placing people at the centre of care. Cancer is deeply personal and goes beyond a medical diagnosis.
⁠
We all have a role in creating a world where cancer care meets each person’s unique needs with compassion and understanding. 🤲⁠
