February 11 is commemorated worldwide as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science by the United Nations General Assembly. Unfortunately, there is still a significant gender gap at all levels of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines all over the world. At HEMEX, we ask ourselves, how is this still happening in the middle of the Fourth Industrial Revolution?

Today, on the fourth of February 2022, we want to spread awareness about the gap in cancer care and support the initiative from the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), which strives to close the cancer care gap.
