In an effort to create a more sustainable and responsible society, Nexia TS pledges its commitment to align and integrate our business practices in the areas of the ten fundamental principles of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). As a participant of the UNGC, the firm observes international days to mark important aspects of humanity and heighten awareness on issues of concern.

General Aspects of Cancer

The General Aspects of Cancer talk is organized by Singapore Cancer Society (SCS) and it is an educational effort to reach out to members of public on the prevalence of Cancer in Singapore. Cancer is the number 1 killer in Singapore and 1 in 3 Singaporeans dies of cancer. The talk aims to instill awareness and a need for members of public to learn and take charge of one’s own lifestyle choices, diet and health in minimizing their risk to the disease.

The educational talk will cover the following areas:

  • An introduction to Cancer and it’s incidence in Singapore
  • Signs and Symptoms of Cancer
  • Risk Factors
  • Prevention & Diagnosis of Cancer
  • Treatment options for Cancer

 

About Singapore Cancer Society (www.singaporecancersociety.org.sg)

Established in 1964, Singapore Cancer Society is a self-funded voluntary welfare organisation which provides patient care services to needy cancer patients through its welfare, hospice home care, cancer treatment subsidy and rehabilitation support programmes. In addition, the Society also provides free cancer screening services and promotes cancer awareness and prevention through its public education and community outreach programmes.

 

Why Do We Mark International Days?

International days are occasions to educate the public on issues of concern, to mobilize political will and resources to address global problems, and to celebrate and reinforce achievements of humanity. The existence of international days predates the establishment of the United Nations, but the UN has embraced them as a powerful advocacy tool.
