The meeting commenced with an introduction by Dr Nku, who highlighted the
significance of cancer in the workplace, emphasizing its impact on the productivity of the
workforce. He noted that the Cancer Awareness Campaign, which is an annual event at
Conwell College, aims to provide vital information on cancer prevention, living with
cancer, and ensuring the community is well-informed about the disease.
Theme and Objectives
Dr Tlou briefed the committee on the theme of World Cancer Day 2024, “Increasing
Impact through Transparency, Accountability, and Partnerships.” He provided insight
into global cancer statistics, mentioning that the disease disproportionately affects the
workforce aged 25 to 49. He reiterated the importance of the college's awareness
campaign to address these concerns within the community.
Proposals for the 2024 Event
Dr Mago proposed inviting a guest speaker from the Department of Health to
share information on how the corporate sector and citizens can contribute to
reducing cancer's impact in the workplace. He also praised the government's
efforts in reducing cancer infection rates, particularly among the economically
active population.
