Moreover, it is the mandate of the newly formed board of the  Association of Friends of the National Cancer Institute (AFNCI) to restore to the association its preponderant role in educating the public about cancer disease, its early detection and prevention. As such, thanks to the support of Egypt Cancer Network 57357, AFNCI which is one of its main beneficiaries and affiliates is embarking for the coming three months on an intensive TV campaign aiming at educating the public on cancer prevention and healthy living guidelines. The awareness campaign which started on  May 29^th, 2013 with an anti-smoking message, will also tackle the themes of  bad eating habits and food preparation and how to avoid them. Both Egypt Cancer Network and Hospital 57357 are supporting this major campaign.
