Welcome back to World Cancer Day 2026!
This year, the Farah Saeed Team is continuing to focus on World Cancer Day’s theme ‘United by Unique.’
Following last year’s objective of the theme, the aim of this year is titled ‘Your story will change minds.‘
This is where the stories of cancer patients are being applied to allow healthcare professionals, policy makers, and the public to personalize the needs of cancer patients through national health plans and cancer strategies inclusively.
Please find below information posters from World Cancer Day and our three projects, with justifiable reasons for their effective purpose toward the World Cancer Day cause and campaign.
This year, FST focused on art therapy that can be done alone by cancer patients or with their loved ones. It is also suitable for healthcare professionals.

The WCD Principles
Engage people and communities
The scope of this objective is to ensure that patients with cancer are actively engaged in shaping healthcare services and policies. This helps to alleviate the challenges and strive for improvement.
It gives patients a sense of empowerment in a clinical setting by being part of their decision-making and outside the clinical setting, where there is an importance of social needs.
Reorienting the model of care
This ensures the level of high-quality coordinated care is continuous in each stage of the patient’s care, with compassion.
Equity, Inclusion, and Transparency in Governance
This objective requires healthcare resources and settings to maintain inclusivity, equity, and cultural sensitivity for all patients, regardless of their background or situation.
Create an enabling environment for cancer care reform
This is about planning and implementing ways in which changes within the health and social care system support cancer patients.
Such steps are regulated through policies to ensure a good model of care and clinical practice is applied.

Arabic is one of the beautiful languages around the world that has shaped art, culture, literature, and history.

WCD quotes
POSITIVE PERCEPTIONS
This young gentleman is fully expressed with positive emotions.
His eyes glistening and smile that wakes up the sleeping hearts and minds.
His dark ginger-brown curled hair resting on his head.
He may be a cancer patient who heard that he is now cancer free or that there are promising results for treatment clinical trials?
He may have heard a relative or friend who was diagnosed with cancer has now fully recovered or is getting better?
He may be a healthcare professional who had just seen his patient or patients get better following surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy improving prognosis.
He may be a cancer researcher who had interesting results in his experimental study that will hopefully improve an understanding of cancer whether through detecting, treatment or how the cancer even exists in the first place.
He may be a patient advocate who has seen mass improvement in the groundwork he is part of to improve the understanding of people centred care on a communal and political level.
He may also be involved in the administrative, design or marketing of cancer related initiatives like World Cancer Day.
He may be just a random passerby who just wants to say “Hey I support World Cancer Day!”
We should never underestimate anyone’s involvement no matter how small.
One thing we should be aware of is He is HAPPY.
We need more HAPPY people or TRY to be HAPPY to hear, see or read happy news.
One life = Multiple chances.
Please meet this young gentlewoman.
She has a weak smile.
Her eyes appear to have held baskets of sadness.
I wonder what they are and how it is linked to cancer?
Despair? Hope? Courage? Strength?
Her skin appears to be radiant in the sun.
A sign of patience.
I wonder what is her cancer journey?
How has she been feeling at the start and now?
Has she tried to comfort her loved ones as they undergo diagnosis and treatment?
Have these tests of cancer pierced her as much as it pierced her ears filled with unique ornaments?
She may also appear relaxed.
Each cancer patient has a unique journey.
Please meet this respected gentleman.
He appears joyful, content and a sign of relief.
I wonder what he seen or heard on an aspect related to cancer for himself, a relative or friend.
In a cultural perspective, white hair correspond to wisdom, hardwork and effort.
Stay smiling.
