At GTT Pinktober, we are dedicated to addressing a critical issue that affects our nation deeply. According to data from the Ministry of Public Health in 2018, Guyana bore the unfortunate distinction of having the highest cancer incidence rate in the Caribbean, at a staggering 46.9%, coupled with a mortality rate of 21.0 per 100,000 persons. These sobering statistics serve as a stark reminder of the urgent need for concerted action in our battle against cancer.

Our commitment to making a meaningful impact is unwavering. Under the banner of our 2023 theme, "Many Hands, Caring Hearts," we aspire to mobilize the entire community, fostering cancer awareness and education throughout Guyana. We achieve this through robust collaborations with both the Government and Cancer NGOs, uniting our strengths to confront this formidable challenge head-on.

Our primary objective stands resolute: to elevate cancer awareness in Guyana, with a specific focus on critical areas such as screening, treatment, and management. Together, we endeavour to diminish the toll of cancer, offering solace and support to those affected by this devastating disease.

We invite you to stand with us in this vital mission. Explore our website to gain deeper insights into our initiatives and upcoming events, and discover how you can actively participate as a Champion of Hope.
