There are 18.1 million cases of cancer worldwide. It is a major cause of
death accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. Every 1 in 6
cancer patients die. Everybody knows about this disease, yet nobody
knows enough about how exactly it is cured. A loss of life isn’t just an
individual loss, it affects a lot of people around. Everybody deserves a
better treatment at reasonable price. Health is first most priority than
any other need.
Unavailability, non-affordability and unawareness of treatment
and medicines.
In underdeveloped nations and in families with low per capita
income, either they are unaware about the treatment available to
them or even if they know about it they simply can’t afford it.
 Underdeveloped countries
 Low per capita income group
 People working in agricultural sector
 People working in factories, construction sites, sanitation
workers.
Underdeveloped countries do not have the technology and access
to the cure available and their incomes are very low to afford it.
On the other hand, there are people who are working in such
sectors which are directly exposed to hazardous waste which are
cancer causing.
