Uniting against cancer
Tehran, Feb 25, IRNA The United Nations Resident Coordinator in Iran Gary Lewis stated, Each year about 8 million people die from cancer worldwide. They are our mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, children, friends ourselves.?
?Every year on February 4, the UN commemorates World Cancer Day which gives us a chance to raise our collective voices in the name of improving knowledge around cancer and dismissing misconceptions about the disease.

He made the statement on the occasion of the opening of a charity bazaar in Tehran.

The Behnam Daheshpour Nowruz Charity Bazaar opened Tuesday morning to raise funds and awareness of the need to unite against cancer. The main aim of the bazaar is to finance the construction and equipping of a bunker room.
