Public awareness and outreach are key components of the Cancer Control Office, which is dedicated to empowering communities with knowledge, encouraging preventive behaviors, and promoting equitable access to cancer prevention and care through effective, evidence-based communication strategies.
Our approach:
1: Spreading Awareness
We deliver comprehensive awareness sessions focusing on cancer risk factors and the various elements of a healthy lifestyle to encourage individuals to adopt healthier habits. One of our key priorities is tobacco control, since smoking remains a pervasive societal issue. To do this, we have embraced innovative approaches, utilizing advanced technologies and engaging educational materials to help individuals gain a deeper understanding of their health, which in turn empowers them to make informed decisions and lead healthier, smoke-free lives.

2: Educational Content
We have and continue to develop diverse educational content in various formats, tailored to meet the unique needs of each community. We carefully consider the different backgrounds, ages, and educational/literacy levels of our audiences to ensure that our messaging is effective and impactful. Our resources equip individuals with the ability and knowledge to better understand their health and provide actionable strategies to help them adopt healthier lifestyle practices.
