In a ground-breaking initiative aimed at combating the rising tide of cancer cases, the Department of Oncology at Pacific International Hospital (PIH) has launched a comprehensive cancer awareness, advocacy, and training program for the PNG Immigration and Citizenship Authority and the Office of the Chief Migration Officer. According to a statement, under the visionary leadership of the Acting Chief Migration Officer, in collaboration with the GESI advisor, the Department of Oncology, and the PIH Management, this systematic program was rolled out to all eligible employees of the PNG Immigration and Citizenship Authority at the Oncology Wing of Pacific International Hospital. The urgency of this initiative is underscored by a recent surge in cancer cases in the National Capital District and within these government departments. The timing of this program coincides with a sobering alert from the World Health Organization, which identified cancer as the leading cause of death worldwide in 2020, claiming nearly one in six lives. Among the most prevalent forms of cancer are breast, lung, colon and rectum, and prostate cancers. Shockingly, approximately one-third of cancer-related deaths can be attributed to preventable factors such as tobacco use, high BMI, alcohol consumption, and poor diet and exercise habits. Additionally, cancer-causing infections like human papillomavirus (HPV) and hepatitis are responsible for around 30% of cases in low and lower-middle-income countries. However, the silver lining lies in the fact that many cancers can be cured if detected early and treated effectively. Programs like the one initiated by PIH play a crucial role in advocating the public on early detection and prevention strategies, facilitated by well-trained super-specialists. Through interactive sessions, participants were confronted with practical realities and societal taboos surrounding cancer in PNG, debunking myths, and shedding light on medical advancements that mitigate risk and improve treatment outcomes. Furthermore, the program extends its reach beyond the workplace and the program, offering support and guidance to participants whose families have been affected by this deadly disease. By fostering awareness and promoting preventive measures, Pacific International Hospital aims to empower individuals and communities in their fight against cancer. Meanwhile, this pioneering effort serves as a testament to the power of collaboration between healthcare institutions and government agencies in addressing pressing public health challenges. As the battle against cancer rages on, initiatives like these offer hope and inspiration for a healthier, cancer-free future in PNG.
