Lung Cancer is a major public health concern worldwide. With the MENA region’s high prevalence of smoking, exposure to second-hand smoking, and environmental pollution, Lung cancer is surely the most common type of cancer.
The MENA region faces several challenges in addressing lung cancer, including limited awareness of the disease, limited access to healthcare services, and inadequate cancer treatment facilities.
In addition, cultural and social norms in the MENA region may prevent individuals from seeking medical care or disclosing their health status. This can lead to delays in diagnosis and treatment, and a lower likelihood of successful outcomes.
Efforts to address lung cancer in MENA must focus on prevention through tobacco control measures, including increasing taxes on tobacco products, implementing smoke-free laws, and launching public awareness campaigns. Additionally, increasing access to cancer screening and treatment services, as well as training healthcare professionals, can improve the early detection and management of lung cancer.
With MMD’s continuous efforts to introduce the latest medical technologies in the MENA Region, a new collaboration with Hygea will take place to launch a new generation of minimally invasive tumor treatment. For more information contact us at info@mena-md.com.
