The Christodoula March in Cyprus is a powerful annual event that unites the community in the fight against cancer, honoring Christodoula’s legacy and supporting the Cyprus AntiCancer Society’s mission. From bustling city streets to quiet village lanes, everyone comes together to raise awareness, show solidarity, and make a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer.
Cyprus is speeding up cancer care by enacting policies aligned with the European cancer strategy, extending public health screenings, preparing for palliative care, establishing a national cancer institute, and supporting patient reintegration through Pasykaf’s initiatives. The Minister of Health emphasized the importance of comprehensive health services and the connection between physical, mental, and social wellbeing in the fight against cancer, highlighting the nation’s commitment to improving the quality of life for all citizens.
Cyprus is enhancing palliative care through the development of a National Cancer Institute, legal framework preparation, and Gesy integration. These efforts aim to improve cancer patients’ accessibility and support at all stages, in alignment with EU healthcare directives.
The Cyprus AntiCancer Society has been providing free supportive and palliative care services to cancer patients for over 50 years. With specialized care centers, home medical and nursing care, transportation, and various support services, the Society strives to enhance the quality of life for those fighting cancer.
