How Do These Initiatives Address Cancer Prevention?

Cancer prevention is a key focus of GHIs. Strategies include:
Vaccination: Initiatives like the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) promote vaccines against cancer-causing viruses such as HPV (human papillomavirus) and HBV (hepatitis B virus).
Tobacco Control: WHO's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) aims to reduce tobacco use, a major risk factor for cancer.
Public Awareness Campaigns: Education on lifestyle changes, such as healthy eating and physical activity, helps reduce cancer risk.
