On World Cancer Day, Crown Princess Kathrine of Serbia expressed solidarity with cancer patients in Serbia and worldwide.
Her Royal Highness issued a statement where she said: “On the World Cancer Day I would like to draw your attention to the fact that cancer is preventable and by having regular medical check-ups, screening, prevention of risk factors and vaccination programs, which are of the outmost importance, this disease can be successfully avoided or cured. By taking good care of one’s health, at the same time one is taking care of one’s loved ones. Good health is necessary for a better life and the wellbeing of your families.”
The Crown Princess continued: “Ever since my Hmanitarian Foundation in Belgrade was established in 2001, it has been active in raising awareness on the importance of preventing, treating and fighting cancer, as well as providing medical equipment for cancer treatment and this is one of its most important goals for the future. In 2019 the total value of medical equipment donated by my Foundation reached over $1,700,000.”
Her Royal Hignhess concluded her statement with the following message: “I wish to emphasize my admiration and gratitude to all our medical professionals in Serbia for their extraordinary work and contribution. I hope that we will all continue to work together for the ultimate benefit of our citizens’ health.”
