#CancerAwareness🗣️📣

Bladder cancer is the 10th most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world. But if caught early, this disease can often be cured. Don’t be embarrassed by these symptoms. Talk about them; act on them. @WorldBladderCan #DontGoRed #BladderCancerMonth22

Support groups are an important part of a patient's journey. They provide an environment where patients and caregivers are able to encourage one another as well as learn skills that will help them cope with cancer treatment.

Tumors found in the brain can be primary or secondary. Primary #braintumors start in the brain, and secondary brain tumors started in another part of the body and then spread to the brain. #BrainTumorAwarenessMonth

Why is advocacy and policy on transfats important? Because as @daktari1 would tell you, we need top down interventions to effect change at the population level. We might not be in a position to eliminate #transfats individually but though policy we can improve health for everyone

Why should we eliminate transfats again? Because 540,000 people die every year from them,& many more are suffering long term consequences of consuming transfats.Where can you find transfats? In Mandazis, Chips, fried chicken,fast foods, in your margarines etc #transfatfreekenya
