Cancer Prevention Month

The BVI Cancer Society is recognising February as Cancer Prevention Month. 

“It is a time to focus on awareness, healthy choices, and the importance of early detection.”

In its World Cancer Day message on February 4, 2025, the Cancer Society said it stands with every fighter, every survivor, every caregiver, and every family touched by cancer.

“We honour your strength. We acknowledge your journey. And we reaffirm our commitment to awareness, early detection, support, and hope for today and every day. Together, we can close the care gap and build a healthier future for our community.”
