The National University Cancer Institute, Singapore (NCIS) is a national specialty centre that provides comprehensive and personalised cancer care for both adult and paediatric cancer patients in Singapore. NCIS offers a broad spectrum of dedicated cancer care and management spanning from awareness, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care.
In 2018, the NCIS Ribbon Challenge was launched to raise awareness and educate the public on how certain cancers, when detected early, can be preventable. This was a ribbon collection drive where the community was encouraged to pin ribbons as a pledge to go for regular cancer screening and take action to keep healthy. The various common cancers were also represented by the different coloured ribbons. A total of 10,000 ribbons were collected then.
In 2019, NCIS Ribbon Challenge expanded to include cancer-related health talks, exercises as well as a cancer information poster exhibition. Over 500 participants attended the event and more than 17,000 ribbons were collected during the month-long campaign.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and social distancing measures, the NCIS Ribbon Challenge 2021 will take place virtually to keep everyone safe. Themed 'Together, we fight cancer', we hope to heighten cancer awareness among our loved ones, encourage those battling the disease alongside their caregivers, as well as to express gratitude to our healthcare workers.
So, come on and join us online at the NCIS Ribbon Challenge 2021!
