New Year, Same Mission: Continuing the Fight Against Cancer in 2026

As we step into a new year, many of us set resolutions, reflect on the past, and look ahead with hope. At Falcon Memorial Cancer Institute (FMCI), while the calendar changes, one thing remains constant: our mission to provide compassionate, high-quality cancer care and to stand by every patient and family on their journey.

A New Year, A Renewed Commitment

For individuals and families facing cancer, the start of a new year is more than a date on the calendar. It is a reminder of resilience, courage, and the importance of not facing the journey alone. In 2026, FMCI continues its role as a trusted companion, offering emotional support, reliable information, and guidance to help patients and caregivers navigate the challenges of cancer.

Same Mission: Support, Education, Accompaniment

Our strength lies in being there for people before, during, and after their medical journey through:

• Psychosocial support to help patients and families cope emotionally

• Education and awareness to promote understanding, prevention, and early detection

• Accompaniment and advocacy to ensure that no one feels isolated or unheard

• Community outreach to reduce stigma and encourage open conversations about cancer

Our mission is to empower, inform, and stand beside those affected by cancer, helping them make sense of a complex journey with dignity and confidence.

Walking Together, Every Step of the Way

Cancer impacts more than the body; it affects mental health, family life, work, and social connections. At FMCI, our team and volunteers are dedicated to listening, guiding, and providing a safe space where patients and loved ones can find reassurance, understanding, and practical support.

From the moment of diagnosis to survivorship or palliative care, accompaniment means being present, offering clarity, and reminding each person that they are not alone.

Looking Ahead in 2026

In the year ahead, FMCI will continue to strengthen its actions in:

• Public education and awareness campaigns

• Support programmes

• Advocacy for equal access to information and care

• Partnerships that expand our reach across Mauritius

Our vision is a society where cancer is better understood, where support is accessible, and where compassion is at the heart of every interaction.

New Year. Same Mission. Stronger Together.

As we enter 2026, we reaffirm what has always guided us: a deep commitment to supporting lives, sharing knowledge, and walking alongside those affected by cancer with empathy and respect.

New year. Same mission. Always by your side.
