Close the Care Gap is the theme for World Cancer Day Close the Care Gap is a three-year campaign about the equity gap that affects everyone - in low, middle, and high income countries/territories - and is costing lives. The first year of the Close the Care Gap campaign is about understanding and recognising the inequities in cancer care around the globe:  Inequity in cancer care costs lives.  People who seek cancer care hit barriers at every turn.  Income, education, location and discrimination based on ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability and lifestyle are just a few of the factors that can negatively affect care.  The gap affects everyone, including you and your loved ones.  These barriers are not set in stone. They can be changed.   World Cancer Day is on 4 February.
