Officially represented by the Teal Ribbon.
World Ovarian Cancer Day is an annual global awareness campaign that brings together healthcare professionals, advocacy organizations, patients, and caregivers to increase awareness of ovarian cancer, promote recognition of its often-overlooked symptoms, encourage earlier diagnosis, and advocate for equitable access to quality treatment and support.
“No Woman Left Behind” focuses on the persistent inequalities affecting ovarian cancer diagnosis, treatment and outcomes. It recognizes that ovarian cancer can present with nonspecific symptoms, contributing to delayed diagnosis, while access to specialist care, effective treatments and supportive services varies considerably between countries and communities.
The theme therefore moves beyond awareness alone. It calls for health systems, policymakers, communities and the global ovarian cancer community to close the gaps that influence survival and quality of life, ensuring that progress in ovarian cancer care reaches women everywhere.
