Operating since December 2020, FMCI works closely with hospitals specialized in oncology to identify and provide support to cancer fighters, celebrate cancer survivors, honour the taken, and never give up hope to patients and their close ones. It is foreseen that the death toll will increase to 16.3 million per year by 2040 (Source: Globocan 2020 and Cancer Tomorrow, IARC). Thus, FMCI embraces the battle against cancer through strategic partnerships involving members and other institutions interested in fighting cancer. It aims to save lives by focusing on what needs to be done, by building capacity to meet local needs. Among the planned activities of FMCI to contribute to World Cancer day, running person-to-person exchanges, such as awareness campaigns, workshops, & conferences about cancer, early cancer detection & cancer prevention around the island are on agenda. The Falcon Memorial Cancer Institute will be coming forward with other activities as a drive to call for action.
