​WorldConnex takes part in the World Cancer Day with the launch of two important projects.
World Cancer Day 2018 - We Can. I Can.
A truly global event taking place every year on 4 February, World Cancer Day unites the world’s population in the fight against cancer.
It aims to save millions of preventable deaths each year by raising awareness and education about the disease, pressing governments and individuals across the world to take action. 
Why World Cancer Day is important? 
This year alone, nearly 8 million people will die of cancer, and left unchecked, the number of deaths will increase to 13.2 million per year by 2030. There is an urgent need for action to raise awareness of the disease and to develop practical strategies to reduce the burden of cancer.
With the recent adoption of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), global health is entering a new era. Today, more than ever, a global commitment is needed to advance progress in the fight against cancer and non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
World Cancer Day is the perfect opportunity to spread the word and create a global awareness of the disease in international media and global health and development programmes.

How does WorldConnex contribute to the cause?
At World Cancer Day 2018, WorldConnex participates with two important projects, made possible by WaidX®, the telematic platform destined to define new scenarios for telemedicine. In both cases, the main objective is to provide access to medical care and channels that allow the exchange of know-how between doctors and health personnel in real time.

WaidX® TeleRadiotherapy Pilot Project for the remote connection of RT departments in US and Armenia.
After the successful experience in supporting different fields of Oncology practice, WaidX takes on the challenge of bringing remotization in Radiotherapy activities.
After its global survey, GTFRCC declared a lack of about 9,000 RT facilities worldwide, mainly in LMIC where the access to cancer care is limited by a number of factors.
On 2017, WorldConnex was commissioned by Weill Cornell Medicine Department of Radiation Oncology to study an ad hoc system to establish a permanent connection with the homologous RT department within the Armenian National Centre of Oncology, in Yerevan.
On the occasion of World Cancer Day 2018, this important project is officially launched.

World Cancer Day 2018 marks the beginning of activities within “Horn of Africa” Project, where WaidX® supports the ambitious goal of APOF - Pathologists Beyond Borders, NGO -  in creating a network of Pathology laboratories among different countries of the Horn of Africa.
WaidX was created with the main goal of facilitate health practices wherever people suffers the impact of digital divide and information poverty and now, more then ever, new technologies give us the chance to make the difference for countries with inadequate healthcare facilities and a dramatic lack of experts in Oncology and Pathology.
