and announced decisive actions to improve the health of their nations. Among them were Argentina,
Australia, France, Ireland, India, Kenya, Lebanon, South Africa, Turkey, Uganda, Uruguay and USA.

Ursula von der Leyen, President of
the European Commission, said:
“In 2020, while we were all fighting
against the COVID-19 pandemic,
many of us were fighting a silent
battle. The battle against cancer. In
2020, we lost 1.3 million Europeans
to this disease. And sadly, the
number of cases is on the rise. This
is why we present Europe’s Beating
Cancer Plan today. The fight of

we’ll win this fight once and for all.”World Cancer Day 2021 Impact Report 25
Experiencing World Cancer Day live
This past 4th February, we brought World Cancer Day to
people at home, school and their workplaces.
Through a full day of live and exclusive content streamed from Facebook, the LIVE
programme included expert chats with leading thinkers around the world as well as a rare
look inside the work of our cancer community.
The live programme included broadcasts every-half across 12 hours, with experts from
different regions providing insight into topics such as talking to young people about
cancer, air quality and cancer, or the future of cancer treatment and why we should have
hope.
The programme also included a yoga session, on-topic book readings, a behind-the-
scenes look at a cancer research lab and a cervical cancer screening site, and live music
performances, including from a South African songwriter singing about his personal
experience with cancer and a chat with cancer survivor and the lead singer of The Alarm,
Mike Peters.

on World Cancer Day
How can we speak to young people about
cancer? What recent advances in treatment
hold real promise for cancer patients? How do
we use the experience with cancer to create
positive change? How does surviving cancer
change a person’s outlook on life? How do we
counter the seriousness of cancer with a sense
of levity and hope?
These questions and many more were asked and
answered in the World Cancer Day Common

were brought together for insightful and
personal one-on-one exchanges.
