4 February is World Cancer Day. Cancer affects millions of lives every year. 1 in 5 people will develop cancer in their lifetime. This statistic is a powerful reminder of the urgent need for prevention, early detection, and equitable access to care. Let’s raise awareness, support those affected, and advocate for stronger health systems that leave no one behind. Together, we can reduce the burden of cancer and promote health for all. #CancerAwareness #HealthForAll #WHO #SupportNotStigma #GlobalHealth #EarlyDetection #UniversalHealthCoverage #EquityInHealth

Cancer prevention isn’t about chance—it’s about systems. Cancer risks drop when you regulate tobacco, prevent infections, breathe clean air, eat healthy and nutritious food, and choose vaccines. Did you know? Nearly 40% of cancers are preventable. Of that 40%, there are three cancers that account for nearly half of all preventable cancers. 🔗 bit.ly/3NUjszT

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: Starting next week, my government will implement the following actions: First, we will change the law in Spain to hold platform executives legally accountable for many infringements taking place on their sites. Second, we will turn algorithmic manipulation and amplification of illegal content into a new criminal offense. Third, we will implement a hate and polarization footprint system to track, quantify, and expose how digital platforms fuel division and amplify hate. Fourth, Spain will ban access to social media for minors under the age of 16. Platforms will be required to implement effective age verification systems — not just checkboxes, but real barriers that work. Fifth and last, my government will work with our public prosecutor to investigate and pursue the infringement committed by Grok, TikTok, and Instagram.
