Cancer - Yemen

Alami Consulting - Cancer International. Worldwide, about 1,000 out of every 1 million people suffer from cancer, according to Worl! d Health Organization estimates. That suggests that out of Yemen’s population of 20 million, at least 20,000 suffer from some kind of cancer. Yet, since the National Cancer Center—the only cancer center in Yemen—was founded in 2004, it has only received 5,000 cancer cases, which suggests that the majority of people with cancer are still not diagnosed or receiving treatment.

Using Education to Fight a Killer

Alami Consulting - Cancer International. There is a silent killer in Yemen, slowly murdering thousands of people every single year. But this killer doesn’t get the same kind of attention that guns and bombs and other more dramatic killers get in the media. Yet this killer could be stopped—or at least slowed—with a little education. The name of this killer is cancer. About 1,000 people out of every 1 million worldwide suffer from cancer, according to World Health Organization estimates.
