Mar 15, Bladder Cancer Awareness Month Grants Programme

For the third consecutive year, the World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition is thrilled to offer the Bladder Cancer Awareness Month Grants (BCAM Grant) for 2024. The BCAM Grant aims to enable patient organisations, support, or advocacy groups in low and middle-income countries to bring awareness to bladder cancer in their communities.

Every year, more than 614,000 people receive bladder cancer diagnosis around the world. For many patients, their diagnosis will be the very first time they hear about bladder cancer. Bladder cancer is a forgotten cancer, and it should not be. We need to unite and raise our voices for people affected by bladder cancer. World Bladder Cancer Awareness Month in May 2024 is a chance for us to precisely do that – join us!
