The League Against Cancer, which works with sick people on a daily basis, warns of the worsening of the situation!

The theme “For fairer care” of World Cancer Day is sadly topical. The League Against Cancer, which acts against inequalities in the face of cancer throughout mainland France and overseas territories: prevention actions, supportive care, financial aid: 3.7 million euros in financial aid for the most vulnerable in 2022, … It also carries the voice of sick people and their relatives: inequalities are widening and the situation requires the total mobilization of all.

The League works everywhere, for everyone… without distinction.

For more than 100 years, the League Against Cancer has been fighting to promote access to prevention, screening, care, treatment, innovative drugs, supportive care… to help sick people and their loved ones at all levels.

The League Against Cancer and its 103 departmental committees offer totally free actions in the territories, an even more essential support for the most vulnerable:

– financial aid: 3,755,603 euros in financial aid to sick people and their relatives in 2022, of which 42% were workers or employees, either 8,672 families supported.
– a telephone hotline, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2022 and which supports thousands of families each year.
– support care accessible to all (psychological support, social support, socio-aesthetic care, adapted physical activities, etc.)
– advocacy actions and tools for communities, in order to act in the most deprived areas…

” Whatever their level of income, their job, their family situation, where they live, the type of cancer… we help everythingare the sick people without distinction. In the face of drug shortages, medical deserts, inflation, to the hospital crisis, we carry out many actions in the field which are all totally free, let’s remember ; and therefore accessible to all. Our presence in each department is also a response to the inequalities between the territories which do not all offer the same services and support systems. HASToday the situation is getting worse, especially for them more vulnerable until rupture. For them : patients, families, loved ones and essential caregivers, we must more than ever mobilize ourselves and not let go of our fight” explains Daniel Nizri, president of the League against Cancer
