the event to be held on 10 November 2024.

TRANSCRIPT

Dr Nku (Chair): Ladies and gentlemen, Cancer is a major threat to the world of work and
has had a huge impact on the most productive segment of the labour force. We
have so far addressed most of the crucial issues that are affecting the wellness of
our college community, including recent complaints about drug abuse that is
recently negatively affecting the employees. This has made us realise that the
college should strengthen the department of counselling so that such affected
employees receive adequate support. We are now progressing into this crucial
agenda item 4.1 Cancer Awareness Campaign Celebrations. This is one of the
most crucial events that the college holds every year. The intention is to ensure
that most of the people get as much information about Cancer infection,
preventative measures, and how to live a normal life whilst infected with Cancer.
Before we get into suggestions of how we can organise the 2024 event, let me
allow Dr Tlou, our researcher, to brief us about what it means to commemorate
World Cancer Day.
