South Africa is uniting to support children and families affected by cancer this September, with health authorities emphasising early detection and improved access to care to boost survival rates, Cape townEtc reports.
Per the Department of Health's press release, the campaign underscores the theme Every Ribbon Holds a Name. Every Name Holds a Story, encouraging the public to wear gold ribbons as a symbol of solidarity.
The department highlighted that while childhood cancer is often perceived as rare, it requires urgent attention due to its impact on vulnerable populations.
