Cape Verde has launched the “2025 – Year of Cancer” initiative to enhance
cancer prevention, early detection, and equitable access to treatment across
the country. Minister of Health Jorge Figueiredo emphasized that this initiative is
not just a set of isolated actions but a long-term strategy to reduce cancer-
related mortality and morbidity.
The government plans to implement awareness campaigns, screening programs,
professional training, and strengthened public policies to improve cancer care.
The initiative will operate under the theme: “Hope is our strength, unity is our
cure.”
