Algeria launches 'Blue November' campaign to raise awareness on prostate cancer

Civil society groups in Algeria are preparing to launch the 'Blue November' campaign to promote awareness of prostate cancer and encourage early detection. Recent figures indicate a concerning rise in the disease, with approximately 50,000 cases diagnosed annually, amounting to a rate exceeding 30 cases per 100,000 people. The Ministry of Health continues to conduct annual screening campaigns aimed at men aged 40 and over. Experts emphasize that combining physical activity with early diagnosis remains the most effective approach to fighting and controlling the illness.
