Here are the latest global #cancer burden stats (2022)
🌍 Estimated 9.7M deaths
💔 1 in 9 men & 1 in 12 women lose their lives to the disease
👤 1 in 5 people face cancer in their lifetime
By 2050, cancer cases are projected to be 77% higher than they were in 2022.
Growing & ageing populations are contributing to the alarming rise, as are risk factors like tobacco, harmful alcohol use, obesity & air pollution - addressing these will help protect people against cancer.
It is high time for us to prioritise our health over money because some of us neglect our health and pursue after money and in the end we now use the money for nursing one illness or the other that should had been prevented.
