In Mauritius, cancer is one of the leading causes of death and it calls for our care. That’s why we launched Stories of Hope, our three-year national cancer sensitisation programme dedicated to raising awareness and encouraging early detection. Stories of Hope targets the most common cancers in Mauritius: breast, prostate, lung, colon and cervical.
More than a sensitisation programme, it is an act of love, courage and hope. It also marks the start of a movement, one that inspires us to stand together and take action in the fight against cancer, ensuring that the entire community benefits from a healthier tomorrow.
