South Sudan’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Cecilia Adut Manyok Adeng, has pledged to support efforts to improve cancer awareness, early detection and access to specialized medical services during a Pink October cancer awareness programme in Juba.Adeng participated in the event on behalf of Adut Salva Kiir, the senior presidential envoy on special programs, who reaffirmed her commitment to supporting cancer patients and survivors.During the programme, the foreign affairs minister pledged to facilitate South Sudan’s membership in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which could help the country access technical assistance and capacity-building support in radiation medicine, diagnostic imaging and related medical services.Membership would provide an avenue for South Sudan to strengthen its capacity to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer through the peaceful application of nuclear science and technology.Adeng also presented awards to marathon winners during the event, which brought together participants to demonstrate solidarity with people affected by cancer in South Sudan and around the world.She was accompanied by Foreign Affairs Ministry Undersecretary Agnes Adlino Orifa Oswaha, as well as ambassadors and diplomats from the ministry.Pink October is an annual campaign that raises awareness about breast cancer, encourages early detection and promotes support for patients and survivors.Photo Credit: Ministry of Health
