Today, cancer is the second leading cause of death around the world after heart disease, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Cancer claimed an estimated 9.6 million lives in 2018 only, especially in middle-income and low-income countries facilities such as radiation therapy, bone marrow transplant, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and the newest anti-cancer drugs.
Regardless, some developing countries are putting more work into countering this deadly disease by developing their cancer action plans and striving to provide affordable cancer prevention and early diagnosis services to save more lives, all while following in the steps of some of the best cancer treatment facilities in the world.
