On February 04th 2018, Rwanda joined other countries to celebrate the World Cancer Day. The Ministry of Health organized Cancer Day in collaboration with its Partners, including WHO, after an awareness week on cancer prevention. During this period, Rwandans have been called on to prevent NCDs risk factors, namely tobacco, alcohol, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity. They also have been urged to practice hygiene and sports in a bid to prevent Non-communicable Diseases which include some cancers that are related to poor hygiene.
