The Lalla Salma Foundation Celebrates National Day Against Cancer

Princess Lalla Salma, chairwoman of the Lalla Salma Foundation for Cancer Prevention and Treatment, chaired on Wednesday evening the celebration of the National Day Against Cancer.

The Princess attended on this occasion the presentation of the synthesis report and recommendations of the symposium “Breast Cancer in Morocco: A Global Approach” organized in Marrakech which was meant to take stock of the progress made and the results of the actions undertaken as part of the 2010-2019 anti-cancer plan for the prevention, detection and treatment of breast cancer.

Then Dr. Christopher P. Wild, director of the International Cancer Research Centre in Lyon, gave a lecture on “Breast Cancer: A Major and International Challenge”.

Later Lalla Salma subsequently handed out the International Award for the Fight Against Cancer to Professor Claude Chardot, a pioneer in the fight against cancer in France; Professor Chardot actively participated in the creation of Rabat’s National Institute of Oncology. Princess Lalla Salma also handed out the National Award to Professor Hassan Errihani, one of Morocco’s leading oncologists.

The ceremony concluded with an exceptional concert of the Deutsche Philharmonie Merck.
